A collection of interesting, newly published nanotechnology books.

Mathematical technique quickly tunes next-generation lenses

Metasurfaces that manipulate light at tiny scales could find uses in cellphone lenses, smart-car sensors, and optical fibers.

Infographic: Understanding graphene

Nanowerk has put together an infographic that summarizes key properties, facts and application areas of graphene.

Some of our foods have nanoparticles in them - should we be worried?

Some people are concerned nanoparticles may present health risks. Here's what we know about nanotechnology in food.

How to program materials

Can the properties of composite materials be predicted? Scientists have mastered this feat and thus can help achieve research objectives faster. This leads, for instance, to better recycling techniques and electrically conductive synthetic materials for the solar industry.

Using plant viruses as nanoparticles for targeted pesticide delivery

Scientists have discovered that a biological nanoparticle - a plant virus - is capable of delivering pesticide molecules deeper below the ground, to places that are normally beyond their reach.

Why are gels elastic?

New research shows how clustered particles determine elasticity of some gels.
