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.
The fabric used to make the ski suits incorporates Directa Plus’ Graphene Plus (G+), which makes the material both bacteriostatic and electrostatic, thereby reducing the friction with air and water to enable top sporting performance. In addition, the thermally conductive properties of the suits mean they are able to act as a filter between the body and the external environment, ensuring that the wearer always remains at an ideal temperature.
Breakthrough nanotechnology research on self-cleaning textiles by scientists at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, could help people to clean their clothes with a spot of sunshine.
A group of researchers at Brown University have demonstrated a new way to fabricate super-crumpled and super-wrinkled sheets of graphene. Graphene is a nanomaterial that exhibits interesting properties. The study reveals that topography can boost some of the unique properties of graphene.
Real-time, in situ monitoring of the self-assembly of nanocrystal structures has been made possible by a team of researchers using a combination of technologies, including controlled solvent evaporation and synchrotron X-ray scattering, paving the way for researchers to gain insights into the mechanisms behind the self-assembly of these structures.
Capturing infrared light with graphene-based nanostructures has been demonstrated by scientists from CIC nanoGUNE, in partnership with Graphenea and ICFO. When light combines with graphene’s charge oscillation, the result is a mixture of charge oscillations and light referred to as plasmon, which can be compressed into minute volumes that are millions times smaller than those present in traditional dielectric optical cavities.
Electrons are often knocked off when an atom is bombarded with a large amount of energy. This makes the atom chemically reactive, triggering higher destruction. This is the reason why radiation is considered to be hazardous, and why high-resolution imaging methods that utilize X-rays and energetic electron beams, can change or destroy the samples they investigate.
Some metal oxides can increase capacity and optimize the cycling performance of lithium-ion batteries, according to material scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). They produced three graphene metal oxide (GMO) nanocomposites and compared their electrochemical performance. What they determined was two of the nanocomposites were able to significantly improve reversible lithium storage capacity.
Cellular environment is a disorganized space, where the movement and quantity of proteins and molecules are found to be in continuous instability. The performance of a cell can be discovered by predicting the fluctuating depth of a process or protein. These predictions are difficult to pinpoint in the open system of a cell, where everything can appear in a chaotic manner.
Researchers from Stanford University have developed a new technique that enables 3D imaging of tissues and cells under the skin in real time. This latest study has the potential to improve the diagnosis and treatment for blindness and certain forms of cancer.
