IBM Researchers Demonstrate New Method for Rapid Molecule Sorting and Delivery Nanotechnology / Physics May 02, 2006 \| User rating: 4.2 / 5 after 59 vote(s) \| No comments yet IBM researchers have demonstrated a new nanoscale method that both rapidly separates very small numbers of molecules and also delivers them precisely onto surfaces with unprecedented control. When fully developed, ...

Nanowire battery holds 10 times the charge of existing ones Nanotechnology / Physics December 18, 2007 \| User rating: 4.8 / 5 after 185 vote(s) \| User comments: 5 Stanford researchers have found a way to use silicon nanowires to reinvent the rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that power laptops, iPods, video cameras, cell phones, and countless other devices.

First Direct Images of Carbon Nanotubes Entering Cells Nanotechnology / Bio & Medicine November 15, 2007 \| User rating: 4.6 / 5 after 84 vote(s) \| User comments: 12 For the first time, scientists have directly imaged carbon nanotubes entering and migrating within human cells, determining as a result that whether the nanotubes cause cell death depends on the dose and exposure ...

Chemists measure chilli sauce hotness with nanotubes Nanotechnology / Materials May 07, 2008 \| User rating: 4.4 / 5 after 46 vote(s) \| User comments: 5 Oxford chemists have found a way of using carbon nanotubes to judge the heat of chilli sauces. The technology might soon be available commercially as a cheap, disposable sensor for use in the food industry.

Nanobacteria – Are They Alive? Nanotechnology / Bio & Medicine April 23, 2008 \| User rating: 4.6 / 5 after 85 vote(s) \| User comments: 9 Tiny particles called nanobacteria have intrigued researchers in many ways since their discovery 20 years ago, but perhaps the most controversial question they pose is whether or not they are alive.

Make Way for the Real Nanopod: Researchers Create First Fully Functional Nanotube Radio Nanotechnology / Physics October 31, 2007 \| User rating: 4.8 / 5 after 83 vote(s) \| User comments: 1 Make way for the real nanopod and make room in the Guinness World Records. A team of researchers with the US Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California at ...

Quantum Dots May Lead to Rainbow Solar Cell Nanotechnology / Materials March 07, 2008 \| User rating: 4.6 / 5 after 112 vote(s) \| User comments: 3 For the first time, researchers have created solar cells made of different-sized quantum dots, each tuned to a specific wavelength of light. By arranging these quantum dots in an ordered pattern, the scientists ...

Researchers demonstrate 'avalanche effect' in solar cells Nanotechnology / Physics May 26, 2008 \| User rating: 4.3 / 5 after 117 vote(s) \| User comments: 9 Researchers at TU Delft (Netherlands) and the FOM Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter have found irrefutable proof that the so-called avalanche effect by electrons occurs in specific, very small ...

UCLA researchers design nanomachine that kills cancer cells Nanotechnology / Bio & Medicine April 01, 2008 \| User rating: 4.5 / 5 after 50 vote(s) \| User comments: 1 Researchers from the Nano Machine Center at the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA have developed a novel type of nanomachine that can capture and store anticancer drugs inside tiny pores and release them into cancer ...

Nanoparticles Generate Supersonic Shock Waves to Target Cancer Nanotechnology / Physics January 16, 2008 \| User rating: 4.6 / 5 after 58 vote(s) \| User comments: 2 By mixing nanomaterials that act as fuel and oxidizer, researchers have created a combustible nano explosive that can generate shock waves with Mach numbers up to 3.

Tiny Brain-Like Transistor Controls Nanobots Nanotechnology / Physics March 12, 2008 \| User rating: 4.6 / 5 after 87 vote(s) \| User comments: 5 For years, researchers have been building tiny nanobots that could one day serve a variety of purposes. But, until now, nanobots couldn't work together.

Nanoparticles + light = dead tumor cells Nanotechnology / Bio & Medicine July 29, 2008 \| User rating: 4.5 / 5 after 33 vote(s) \| User comments: 3 Medical physicists at the University of Virginia have created a novel way to kill tumor cells using nanoparticles and light. The technique, devised by Wensha Yang, an instructor in radiation oncology at the University of ...

Microscope Sees with Nanoscale Resolution Nanotechnology / Physics January 28, 2008 \| User rating: 4.3 / 5 after 72 vote(s) \| User comments: 4 Researchers have recently built an x-ray microscope that has a pixel resolution of just 15 nanometers, allowing scientists to study the properties of materials at the molecular scale and beyond.

New nanostructured thin film shows promise for efficient solar energy conversion Nanotechnology / Materials January 08, 2008 \| User rating: 4.3 / 5 after 54 vote(s) \| User comments: 3 In the race to make solar cells cheaper and more efficient, many researchers and start-up companies are betting on new designs that exploit nanostructures--materials engineered on the scale of a billionth of a meter. Using ...

Carbon nanotubes that look like asbestos, behave like asbestos Nanotechnology / Materials May 20, 2008 \| User rating: 4.7 / 5 after 31 vote(s) \| User comments: 1 A major study published today in Nature Nanotechnology suggests some forms of carbon nanotubes – a poster child for the “nanotechnology revolution” – could be as harmful as asbestos if inhaled in sufficient quantities.
