Rice University Researchers Develop Light-Driven, Single-Molecule Nanosubmarines

Nanoscale submarines, made of only 224 atoms and driven by ultraviolet light, have been developed. It is hoped that this technology can be further developed to allow the transport of molecular cargoes or the delivery of drugs to diseased organs.

NASA Develop Spherical Occulter using Super-Black Carbon-Nanotube Coating to Study the Sun’s Corona

A team of NASA scientists are working on the development of an occulter, which blocks light from the sun, for use in a CubeSat mission to measure the sun's coronal mass ejections. To assist in the production of the occulter the researchers have been using carbon nanotubes to achieve the full absorption of light

New Method of Producing Infrared Cameras Developed that can Detect Individual Wavelengths

A novel technology that uses silver nanocubes to bring true color to infrared cameras has been developed which can 'see' in the visible and infrared radiation. This is an improvement on current technology that only measures the intensity of infrared radiation and not the specific frequencies.

Onion-Like Nanoparticle Upconverts Infrared Radation into UV

An innovative onion-like nanoparticle has been developed that can efficiently convert low energy near-infrared radiation into UV light of a higher energy. The process involves the transfer of the infrared photons energy into the nanoparticle core, where they are fused together to form one, higher-energy photon.
