Nanoengineered concrete could cut CO2 emissions Nanotechnology / Materials January 29, 2007 \| User rating: 4.3 / 5 after 33 vote(s) \| No comments yet While government leaders argue about the practicality of reducing world emissions of carbon dioxide, scientists and engineers are seeking ways to make it happen.

Technique creates metal memory and could lead to vanishing dents Nanotechnology / Materials March 29, 2007 \| User rating: 4.2 / 5 after 53 vote(s) \| No comments yet Crumpled kitchen foil that lays flat for reuse. Bent bumpers that straighten overnight. Dents in car doors that disappear when heated with a hairdryer. These and other physical feats may become possible with a technique to ...

Beetle feet stick to their promises Nanotechnology / Materials November 03, 2006 \| User rating: 4.4 / 5 after 32 vote(s) \| No comments yet Mushroom-shaped microhairs are the secret of a new adhesive material which scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Metals Research in Stuttgart, Germany, have developed. Inspired by the soles of beetles' ...

Nanotube production leaps from sooty mess in test tube to ready formed chemical microsensors Nanotechnology / Materials May 06, 2008 \| User rating: 4.6 / 5 after 24 vote(s) \| User comments: 1 Carbon nanotubes’ potential as a super material is blighted by the fact that when first made they often take the form of an unprepossessing pile of sooty black mess in the bottom of a test tube. Now researchers ...

Nanojewels made easy Nanotechnology / Materials July 30, 2008 \| User rating: 4.3 / 5 after 12 vote(s) \| No comments yet Butterfly wings, peacock feathers, opals and pearls are some of nature's jewels that use nanostructures to dazzle us with color. It's accomplished through the way light reaches our eyes after passing through the submicroscopic ...

Now Northwestern University researchers report they have used DNA as the blueprint, ...

Chemists create, grow nanotube seeds Nanotechnology / Materials November 17, 2006 \| User rating: 4.2 / 5 after 32 vote(s) \| No comments yet Rice University chemists today revealed the first method for cutting carbon nanotubes into "seeds" and using those seeds to sprout new nanotubes. The findings offer hope that seeded growth may one day produce the large quantities ...

Improbable 'buckyegg' hatched Nanotechnology / Materials September 28, 2006 \| User rating: 4.3 / 5 after 30 vote(s) \| No comments yet An egg-shaped fullerene, or "buckyball egg" has been made and characterized by chemists at UC Davis, Virginia Tech and Emory and Henry College, Va. The unexpected discovery opens new possibilities for structures ...
