From the polyurethane that makes our car seats to the paper made from bleached wood pulp, chlorine can be found in a variety of large-scale manufacturing processes.
Nature Nanotechnology, an online manual, has published a report outlining the concept of combining nanoparticles with molecular and photodynamic therapies in order to deliver anticancer treatment, and obtain improved results for patients with pancreatic cancer and other treatment-resistant tumors. The concept has been developed by a team of researchers from the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH).
Scientists have developed a unique type of bismuth-based nanoribbons, whose semiconductor properties were effectively controlled by applying a magnetic field. This novel technology shows promise for developing new quantum computers and spintronic devices, and would also aid in studying exotic physics concepts. These nanoribbons were developed using a new class of materials, known as topological insulators.
The same slip-and-stick mechanism that leads to earthquakes is at work on the molecular level in nanoscale materials, where it determines the shear plasticity of the materials, according to scientists at Rice University and the State University of Campinas, Brazil.
Researchers, headed by Sir Kostya Novoselov and Dr Subhasish Chakraborty from the University of Manchester, have discovered graphene’s ability to control terahertz laser frequency. This capability could open up new possibilities for terahertz lasers.
An innovative method for fast and precise gene sequencing has been proposed by scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Disruption: rupture or sudden interruption. Disruptive Innovation: is just what the Science Research Centre NanoGUNE has done, creating the NovaSpider 3D spinning machine, a breakthrough which is set to revolutionise the way nanofibres are produced. Why? Simple: because this machine enables the user to produce 3D structures based on state-of-the-art nanofibres in his/her own lab.
Researchers in the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin have solved a problem in micro- and nanofabrication -- how to quickly, gently and precisely handle tiny particles -- that will allow researchers to more easily build tiny machines, biomedical sensors, optical computers, solar panels and other devices.
A team of researchers, from the International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics of National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) and the Georgia Institute of Technology, have developed a dual-layered nanowire that comprises a silicon (Si) shell and a germanium (Ge) core.
A research team from the University of Amsterdam's Van’t Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences (HIMS) has discovered a new method to achieve improved catalytic performance. In this method, self-assembled and functionalized nanospheres are used as ‘nanocentrators,’ enabling a very efficient catalytic conversion.
