Innovative Method Prints Nanomaterials onto 3D Objects and Flexible Surfaces Using Plasma

The printing process continuously evolved since the days of Johannes Gutenberg. A new technique has been developed by a team of researchers at NASA Ames and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, to print nanomaterials onto three-dimensional objects or flexible surfaces, such as a cloth or paper, using plasma. The breakthrough process has potential to help build devices, such as integrated circuits, flexible memory devices and batteries, wearable chemical and biological sensors, easily and cost-effectively.

Breakthrough Method to Integrate Nanostructures with Micro Energy Storage Units for Microelectronics

Creating smaller components is a key factor in the race to develop compact smartphones and other handheld devices. There is an increasing demand for lighter and thinner microelectronic devices. However, manufacturers often have a limitation in the form of the oddly shaped energy sources, which pose challenges when trying to conform to the smaller space.

Eggshell Nanoparticle-Infused Bioplastics Ideally Suited for Packaging Materials

Eggshells, when placed on end, can be as strong as the arches holding the ancient Roman aqueducts. However they easily crack in the middle, prompting us to throw them away. Researchers suggest that adding tiny eggshell pieces to bioplastic can create a biodegradable packaging material, a first-of-its-kind, which bends but does not break so easily.

DNA Origami Holds Potential to Make Nanoscale Structures for Use in Electronics

Electronics manufacturers constantly hunt for ways to make faster, cheaper computer chips, often by cutting production costs or by shrinking component sizes. Now, researchers report that DNA, the genetic material of life, might help accomplish this goal when it is formed into specific shapes through a process reminiscent of the ancient art of paper folding.

Researchers Develop New Parallel-Computing Approach by Combining Nanotechnology and Biology

A study published this week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reports a new parallel-computing approach based on a combination of nanotechnology and biology that can solve combinatorial problems. The approach is scalable, error-tolerant, energy-efficient, and can be implemented with existing technologies. The pioneering achievement was developed by researchers from the Technische Universität Dresden and the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics, Dresden in collaboration with international partners from Canada, England, Sweden, the US, and the Netherlands.
