Using viruses to help water blow off steam (w/video)
Researchers are using viral-biotemplating to make nanostructure coatings for studying their ability to enhance water boiling efficiency.
Fuel cells in the spotlight
In-situ, dynamic X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy to demystify the behavior of catalysts in fuel cells.
Carbon nanotube fibers make superior links to brain
Carbon nanotube fibers may provide the best way to communicate directly with the brain. The fibers have proven superior to metal electrodes for deep brain stimulation and to read signals from a neuronal network. Because they provide a two-way connection, they show promise for treating patients with neurological disorders while monitoring the real-time response of neural circuits in areas that control movement, mood and bodily functions.
EPA proposes reporting and record keeping requirements on nanomaterials
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing one-time reporting and recordkeeping requirements on nanoscale chemical substances in the marketplace.
Nanorobotic agents open the blood-brain barrier, offering hope for new brain treatments
Magnetic nanoparticles can open the blood-brain barrier and deliver molecules directly to the brain, say researchers.
