Nano-alloy is a broad term used to describe two, or sometimes multiple component nanoparticles, made of atomic species that are metals. A nano-alloy can be what is referred to as a very small “cluster”, containing only a few atoms, or a large nanoparticle with a diameter of a few hundred nanometers.

Quantum teleportation shows remarkable promise as being critical for the production of semiconductors in the future. The problem lies in trying to understand and transmit information via quantum entanglement. It is also important to remember that quantum teleportation (QT) is not the ‘matter transfer’ teleportation seen in television shows like Star Trek. QT is better thought of as a form of communication; not transportation.

Nano-imaging is crucial in the emerging sectors of nanotechnology and nanomaterials. Numerous high-resolution imaging techniques have been developed, enabling industrial applications of materials such as graphene thin-films and carbon nanotubes. The key to many of the techniques for nano-imaging is the mathematical theory and application of discrete tomography.

AZoNano spoke to Dr. Antonietta M. Gatti about the advances in nanopathology and how her laboratory is checking for the presence of nanoparticles to diagnose diseases.
As materials get smaller, transforming from bulk material to nanoparticle, their properties alter. Materials at the nanoscale are frequently reported to have unique optical, electronic and/or, mechanical properties. It is these properties that have made nanoparticles an increasingly popular field of study. Researchers are committed to understanding how the nanoscale versions of materials behave, and what properties they have, to exploit them and establish new and useful applications with new cap

The world of the nanomolecular is an enigmatic one. To understand the physical, chemical, and nuclear properties that shape the world, scientists have devised ever-more sophisticated methods over the last century. However, several classes of functional materials that have emerged in recent years have atomic structures limited to the nanoscale. These include nanoparticles, nanostructured materials, nanocomposites and bulk crystals which have an intrinsic nanoscale order.
