It’s great to see ambitious goals being set in nanotechnology, like these “molecular mini-factories“. Researchers from a wide range of disciplines at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) will be joining forces in the Institute for Complex Molecular Systems (ICMS). They will be investigating the exact mechanism behind self-organization, the principle behind all life on earth.… Continue reading Complex molecular nanotechnology systems to be built in Netherlands
In a proof-of-concept demonstration, large area graphene films several atomic layers thick were inexpensively produced.
Nanotechnology using a molecular-scale switch could enable storing half a petabyte on one square inch.
Using nanotechnology to control the spin of a single electron in a carbon nanotube might lead to replacing conventional semiconductor transistors with a carbon nanotube or single molecule.
European nanotechnology researchers have moved a gold cargo about 500 nm along a carbon nanotube ‘Monorail”.
IBM scientists provided a proof-of-concept demonstration of a new type of nanotechnology-enabled computer memory in which magnetic domain walls are moved along a nanowire “racetrack”.
Lab-on-a-chip technology has been used to automate the evolution of molecules so that this approach might prove useful for nanotech purposes.
Nanoparticles targeted to the growing blood vessels feeding tumors in rabbits shrank the tumors using far less chemotherapy drug than would have been required to shrink the tumors if the drug had been used alone.
Three short DNA strands attached to one aromatic ring containing six carbon atoms form three-legged building blocks that assemble into a dodecahedron.
A proof-of-concept application of nanotechnology to fabricate transparent organic light emitting diodes (OLEDS) small enough to serve as pixels in high-resolution displays might lead to products like flexible color monitors and “heads-up” displays in car windshields. From a Purdue University press release “Engineers make first ‘active matrix’ display using nanowires“: Engineers have created the first… Continue reading Nanotechnology fabricates OLEDS for active matrix displays
