Attosecond electron catapult

A team of physicists and chemists has studied the interaction of light with glass nanoparticles.

Nano-style sheets may aid health, shield ecosystem

Nanomembrane sheets made from nylon resemble a tangled web. The tiny iron oxide particles on the fiber surfaces can help clean toxic chemicals from water, but if the particles get separated from the web, they can become hazards themselves.

A biodegradable nanogenerator made with DNA

Researchers report the development of a biodegradable nanogenerator made with DNA that can harvest the energy from everyday motion and turn it into electrical power.

Producing nanofibers with controlled size

Researchers studied the effective parameters on the production of polymeric nanofibers through electrospinning method.
