Proteins covalently attached to carbon nanotube tips provide new tool for nanotechnology

Japanese scientists have succeeded in chemically attaching proteins specifically to the tips of multiwalled carbon nanotubes, avoiding contaminating attachments to the sides of the nanotubes.

Scanning probe tip arrays for denser, faster, cheaper memories through nanotechnology

Among the most useful tools for nanotechnology are various scanning probe tips for surface modification.

Top-down nanotechnology reaches downward

An interview by Nanotechnology.com of the director of the Center for Nanoscale Chemical-Electrical-Mechanical Manufacturing Systems got our attention. I’d give you a URL for this interview but it doesn’t seem to be on the web, only in email. An excerpt: The molecular gate toolbit: This is a toolbit that uses efficient electrokinetic transport in long… Continue reading Top-down nanotechnology reaches downward

Nanotechnology in clothing harvests energy from the wearer's movements

Fibers made from zinc oxide nanowires can generate electrical current from low frequency mechanical motion, like body movements.

European Commission adopts Code of Conduct for Responsible Nanotechnology

After several months of public consultation, the European Commission has announced a Code of Conduct for Responsible Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies Research.

Nanomanufacturing conference: get your Foresight discount

SME has let us know that Foresight members get a discount to their upcoming Nanomanufacturing conference in the Boston area on April 22-23, which features three sessions of special interest: Understanding Nanotechnology, workshop led by Tihamer Toth-Fejel of General Dynamics, to cover topics including: brief history of nanotechnology, taxonomies and roadmaps, near-term passive structures, medium-term… Continue reading Nanomanufacturing conference: get your Foresight discount

A nanotechnology based upon writing in 3D produces long fibers and complex structures

As a step toward advanced nanotechnology, general methods for producing complex nanoscale structures in three dimensions are useful stepping stones from current nanotech to atomically precise functional nanosystems.

Nanotechnology: Quantum drums might aid in designing nano-electronic circuits or quantum computing

In a virtuoso demonstration of nanotechnology, researchers used a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to build walls of carbon monoxide molecules to confine electrons on a copper surface so that they resonate like a drum.

Faster structure determinations to benefit nanotechnology

Two stories report new tools that should accelerate nanotech development by providing scientists with faster determination of molecular structures.

U.S. seen as more open to nanotechnology than Europe

Reason magazine, which generally takes positions in favor of technology and free enterprise, has a cover story on nanotechnology (full text not posted yet, check link later) which speculates that the U.S. may be more open to nanotech than Europe: In the U.S., despite our flirtation with paranoia about biotech and our routine panics over… Continue reading U.S. seen as more open to nanotechnology than Europe
