Chloride Ions Caught By Mini Donut Shaped Molecule

Ions play an important role in nature, in our bodies as well as for science and technology. It is often necessary to trap, remove, mask, stabilize, or transport ions, whether in the body or the lab. However, it is difficult to develop suitable chelators for negatively charged anions such as chloride and fluoride. Researchers have now synthesized a donut-shaped molecule that tightly and selectively takes chloride ions up into its center.

Single Semiconductor Crystal Inside Optic Fiber Brings Electronic Capabilities to Optical Fibers

An international science team from Penn State University in the United States and the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom has developed a process for growing a single-crystal semiconductor inside the tunnel of a hollow optical fiber. The device adds new electronic capabilities to optical fibers, whose performance in electronic devices such as computers typically is degraded by the interface between the fiber and the device.

Nanotechnology Researchers Surprised to Find Unusual Strength Properties of Nanomaterials and May Expolit Them in Future Nanomachines

In yet another twist on the strangeness of the nanoworld, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland-College Park have discovered that materials such as silica that are quite brittle in bulk form behave as ductile as gold at the nanoscale. Their results may affect the design of future nanomachines.
