Researchers in Switzerland have developed a new method to fabricate borosilicate glass nanoparticles. Used in microfluidic systems, these "Pyrex"-like nanoparticles are more stable when subjected to temperature fluctuations and harsh chemical environments than currently used nanoparticles made of polymers or silica glass. Their introduction could extend the range of potential nanoparticle applications in biomedical, optical and electronic fields.
Danville Community College and Luna Innovations Incorporated have entered into a partnership to provide nanotechnology technician training to Southside Virginia residents. The partnership is being funded through a three-year, $638,000 grant from the National Science Foundation, which the NSF announced award of recently to DCC.
For most of us, gold is only valuable if we possess it in large-sized pieces. However, the "bigger is better" rule isn't the case for those interested in exploiting gold's exceptional ability to catalyze a wide variety of chemical reactions, including the oxidation of poisonous carbon monoxide (CO) into harmless carbon dioxide at room temperatures.
Few materials have exercised as much of a hold on the human imagination, or on human history, as has gold.
But for all of its popular uses - money, medals, jewelry and more - gold's potential as a catalyst lay hid...
Just as test pilots push planes to explore their limits, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are probing the newest microscope technology to further improve measurement accuracy at the nanoscale. Better nanoscale measurements are critical for setting standards and improving production in the semiconductor and nanomanufacturing industries.
Scientists have detected previously unnoticed chemical signals that individual cells in the immune system use to communicate with each other over short distances.
The signals the researchers detected originated in den...
FEI Company, a leading provider of high-resolution imaging and analysis systems, today released the MLA 600F system, a high-speed automated mineralogy analyzer used in the mining industry to optimize the performance of m...
Electrons have something in common with people: the more information they acquire about their setting, the more they become aware of their individuality and the more belonging to a group loses its importance. As a result, the coherent harmony that binds the electrons into a fixed relationship with their environment is lost. This is what scientists at the Fritz-Haber Institute of the Max-Planck Society discovered when, with the aid of X-rays, they catapulted electrons out of molecules consisting of two nitrogen atoms.
Using two abundant and relatively inexpensive elements, Boston College chemists have produced nanonets, a flexible webbing of nano-scale wires that multiplies surface area critical to improving the performance of the wires in electronics and energy applications.
