Shape-changing nanotechnology phone

It’s just a concept for now, but Nokia is projecting a future phone product that uses nanotechnology to be stretchable and flexible: Finnish handset giant Nokia gave the industry a glimpse of the future on Monday, when it unveiled a shape changing mobile devices concept based on nanotechnology… The concept demonstrates how future mobile devices… Continue reading Shape-changing nanotechnology phone

Decorated carbon nanotubes may improve fuel cells

Nanotechnology catalysts may enable more efficient fuel cells to power consumer electronics via the oxidation of methanol.

Mathematical modeling in nanotechnology to optimize nanoparticle design for nanomedicine

Nanotech drug delivery vehicles may soon improve because it turns out that even those that appear to be promising are not well-designed.

New microscope provides an important quality control tool for nanotechnology

A new type of electron microscope allows nanotech researchers to look at the nanostructures they produce and identify individual atoms and how they are bonded to other atoms.

Many companies trying to treat cancer using nanotechnology

In “Nanotech Puts Cancer In The Cross Hairs” at Forbes.com, Josh Wolfe describes the approaches of a number of companies developing nanotechnology-based treatments for cancer. Although only a snapshot of an area of intense activity, this overview highlights a number of the important issues. Unfortunately, when it comes to treating cancer, modern medicine is still… Continue reading Many companies trying to treat cancer using nanotechnology

LA Times features nanotechnology debate

All this week, NanoBusiness Vice President Aatish Salvi debates nanotechnology with the Center for Technology Assessment’s George Kimbrell over at the LA Times online. An excerpt from the former: Realizing the benefits of nanotechnology will take time. That should come as no surprise. Nanotech is trying to solve some of the hardest and most meaningful… Continue reading LA Times features nanotechnology debate

Measuring the force to push a single atom deepens understanding of nanotechnology

By combining the features of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and an atomic force microscope (AFM)–two of the most useful nanotech tools–in a single instrument, IBM scientists have measured the forces necessary to move single cobalt atoms and single carbon monoxide molecules across metal surfaces.

Building chips with DNA nanotechnology

Researchers at IBM are developing DNA nanotechnology to assemble nanoelectronic components into arrays in a bid to replace current lithographic methods of making computer chips.

Nanotechnology may provide a way to deliver drugs to cartilage to treat osteoarthritis

A properly sized nanoparticle linked to a peptide that binds specifically to cartilage proved an effective drug delivery method when injected into the knees of mice.

Fundamental advance in understanding RNA folding may advance use of RNA building blocks for nanotechnology

Stanford University scientists have achieved new, detailed understanding of how a polymer folds into a unique three-dimensional structure by using an “optical trap” to precisely unfold a functional RNA molecule.
