Nonfriction literature

National Science Foundation supports joint Lehigh University-DuPont research into tribology - industry's hidden profit killer.

Atomic-level flyovers show how radiation bombardment boosts superconductivity

Atomic-level flyovers show how impact sites of high-energy ions pin potentially disruptive vortices to keep high-current superconductivity flowing.

UCF's new nanotechnology Master's degree is first in Florida

UCF is now the first and only university in Florida to offer a research-focused master's degree in nanoscience.

Nanotechnology-based therapeutic platform to treat biofilm infection in chronic wounds

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded Kent State University's Min-Ho Kim a $1,842,350 five-year grant. The grant is to develop 'nanobombs', a nanotechnology-based therapeutic platform that can treat biofilm infection in chronic wounds.

Slinky lookalike 'hyperlens' helps see tiny objects

The photonics advancement could improve early cancer detection, nanoelectronics manufacturing and scientists' ability to observe single molecules.

Physicists develop efficient method of signal transmission from nanocomponents

Physicists have developed an innovative method that could enable the efficient use of nanocomponents in electronic circuits. To achieve this, they have developed a layout in which a nanocomponent is connected to two electrical conductors, which uncouple the electrical signal in a highly efficient manner.

Nanocup with a pearl of gold

Double Janus nanoparticles are transformed into purely inorganic, cup-shaped dynamic inclusion bodies for colloid design.
