Gold nanoparticles are under consideration for a number of biomedical applications, such as tumor treatment. A German-American research team at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Hunter College in New York, and the RWTH Aachen has now developed a new method for the production of nanoscopic gold rods.
Two buildings on the 5,300-acre site of the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have each been awarded a LEED silver rating by the U.S. Green Building Council. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. The two buildings - the 94,500 square-foot Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN) and the 65,000 square-foot Research Support Building (RSB) - are the newest on the Brookhaven Lab site.
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.
Although analysts forecast that more than 15 percent of all products will incorporate some form of nanotechnology by 2014, there is very little federal regulation or oversight on this burgeoning sector. The challenge, as...
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.
The dedication ceremony, which takes place at 11:30 a.m., celebrates the completion of an $18 million, state-funded expansion of one of the nation's premier and largest research laboratories in academia for micro and nanoelectronics, nanophotonics and optoelectronics, nanomedicine and bionanotechnology, and MEMS/NEMS and integrated systems research. The expansion added new lab, research, classroom and meeting space.
Cleanfield Energy Corp a subsidiary of Cleanfield Alternative Energy Inc. announces that its project partner, McMaster University, has been awarded a Collaborative Research and Development grant from the Natural Sciences...
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...
Fairway Medical Technologies, Inc. has received a $900,000, 3-year contract from the Department of the Navy to apply its optoacoustic technology to the real-time detection of blood borne pathogens and biological warfare ...
