By dipping plain cotton cloth in a high-tech broth full of silver nanowires and carbon nanotubes, Stanford researchers have developed a new high-speed, low-cost filter that could easily be implemented to purify water in the developing world.

Rice University scientists have created the first two-terminal memory chips that use only silicon, one of the most common substances on the planet, in a way that should be easily adaptable to nanoelectronic manufacturing techniques and promises to extend the limits of miniaturization subject to Moore's Law.

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a microminiaturized device that can make complex viscosity measurements - critical data for a wide variety of fields dealing with things that have to flow - on sample sizes as small as a few nanoliters.

Researchers have developed a simple process for producing nanocrystals that will enable studies of certain physical and chemical properties that affect how nanoparticles interact with the world around them.

The best result came from a blend of dyes used in canned vegetables, jellies and sauces.

Shipping Out to Boston for ACS Meeting: Berkeley Lab researchers present on medicine, energy, the environment and more.

JEOL USA, a leading supplier of high resolution Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEMs) for biological and materials research, announces that Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, has selected two JEOL TEMs for the Robert P. Apkarian Integrated Electron Microscopy Core (RPAIEMC).

Patent allowance protects Marina Biotech key delivery technology for RNAi therapeutics.

On Sept. 13, 2010, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Federal Laboratory Consortium, the Maryland Technology Development Corporation (TEDCO) and the Montgomery County Department of Economic Development will co-sponsor a nanotechnology forum on NIST's Gaithersburg, Md., campus.

Measurements taken at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) may help physicists develop a clearer understanding of high-temperature superconductors, whose behavior remains in many ways mysterious decades after their discovery.

Two new groundbreaking scientific papers by researchers at UC Santa Barbara demonstrate the synthesis of nanosize biological particles with the potential to fight cancer and other illnesses. The studies introduce new approaches that are considered 'green' nanobiotechnology because they use no artificial compounds.

CVD Equipment Corporation and Graphene Laboratories, Inc., today launched a new line of Chemical Vapor Deposited (CVD) Graphene products. These products include large-area single layer graphene films grown on copper foils or copper-coated wafers.

Picosun Oy, Finland-based global manufacturer of state-of-the-art Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) systems today announced a 400 % increase in new orders received during its fiscal Q1 (May to July 2010) on a year-on-year basis.

Vom 12. bis 13. Oktober 2010 ist die Universitaet Bayreuth Gastgeber des 2. Symposiums 'Nanostrukturierte Polymere'. Die Veranstaltung ist ein Forum fuer den Austausch zwischen Grundlagenforschung und Anwendung im Bereich der Polymere und Kolloide.

Researchers at Fluorotronics, Inc. (San Diego, USA) have enlightened the role of hydrophobic surfaces in the enhancement of proteins folding. They say that organic-inorganic nanoporous silica sol-gel glasses constitute the ideal support for protein bioencapsulation and adsorption, and to study the different factors influencing the protein folding process in a crowded environment.

Am Institut fuer Druckmaschinen und Druckverfahren (IDD) der TU Darmstadt arbeiten Wissenschaftler gemeinsam mit der Merck KGaA an einem Sensor, der elektrischen Geraete erheblich kostenguenstiger machen wird. Der neue Sensor basiert nicht auf Silizium als leitendem Material, sondern auf Kunststoffen.

Veeco Instruments Inc. announced today that Tsinghua Tongfang Company, a Beijing-based, publicly listed division of the Tsinghua Holdings Company Limited, has selected Veeco as its primary supplier of Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) systems for their new light-emitting diode (LED) factory.
