The latest fashion: Graphene edges can be tailor-made
Theory shows it should be possible to tune material's properties.
Diaper compound may expand power of microscopes
Expansion microscopy is a process that enlarges cell structures, allowing scientists to take nanoscale pictures of healthy and disease tissue throughout the body using common microscopes.
Silver nanowires demonstrate unexpected self-healing mechanism
Researchers found that silver nanowires can withstand strong cyclic loads, which is a key attribute needed for flexible electronics.
SUN organizes successful 1st Sustainable Nanotechnology School
The SUN project has successfully hosted the first Sustainable Nanotechnology School, with over 70 participants coming from all over Europe, United States and Brazil and 21 speakers chosen among the most prominent experts on environmental, health and safety (EHS) implications and sustainable applications of nanomaterials.
Nanotechnology changes behavior of materials used in solar cells
Engineers have developed a technique to increase the performance and electrical conductivity of thin films that make up solar cell materials using nanotechnology.
New technique helps probe performance of organic solar cell materials
The researchers have used the technique to determine that materials with a highly organized structure at the nanoscale are not more efficient at creating free electrons than poorly organized structures - a finding which will help guide future research and development efforts.
Scientists 'bend' elastic waves with new metamaterials that could have commercial applications
Materials could benefit imaging and military enhancements such as elastic cloaking.
