Founder of structural DNA nanotechnology field awarded medal by American Chemical Society

The American Chemical Society has awarded Nadrian Seeman its Nichols Medal for establishing the field of structural DNA nanotechnology, nearly 13 years after the Foresight Institute awarded Seeman the 1995 Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology.

Novel method of manipulating nanostructures for polymer nanotechnology

another case where nanotech has been advanced by “innovative measurement techniques and new ways to position the molecules”

Simpler way of building three-dimensional structures using DNA nanotechnology

Researchers have published a new DNA nanotech method that uses essentially one tile that self-assembles into a variety of larger three-dimensional shapes.

Less noise with nanotechnology devices using two atomic layers of graphene

IBM announced (credit PhysOrg.com) that stacking two layers of graphene—one on top of the other—reduces noise that has bedeviled attempts to build nanoelectronic circuits from graphene. From “IBM Scientists ‘Quiet’ Unruly Electrons in Atomic Layers of Graphite“: [IBM researchers] today announced a discovery that combats one of the industry’s most perplexing problems in using graphite… Continue reading Less noise with nanotechnology devices using two atomic layers of graphene

Structural alphabet of RNA may advance RNA nanotechnology

A developing understanding of non-Watson-Crick interactions places RNA nanotech on a firmer foundation.

Japan takes lead in medical nanorobots

It’s very early days as yet, but Japan is moving forward toward the goal of molecular-level machinery to control nanotechnology-based robotic devices for medicine. In the U.S. and Europe, the poorly-informed sometimes ridicule the prospect of such nanotech robots, but visionary goals are apparently okay in Japan. See the report and video at MSNBC from… Continue reading Japan takes lead in medical nanorobots

Nanotechnology draws and erases conducting lines three nm wide

In yet another approach to using scanning probe microscopy to build better computer memories, nanotech draws and erases lines three nm wide.

New theoretical framework for making nanocircuits with nanotechnology

A new theoretical framework for nanotech seeks to use specially designed nanoparticles to create circuits that could lead to optical information processing and optical communication between nanostructures.

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.

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.
