Printing of metal structures with complex 3D architectures will have a variety of uses from batteries to biological scaffolds.
Scientists at National University of Singapore have created a transparent smog-filtering window screen.
The use of nanotechnology in medical procedures may just be a few short years away, according to new research.
Nanoengineers have 3-D printed a lifelike, functional blood vessel network that could pave the way toward artificial organs and regenerative therapies.
Researchers have made the world's smallest radio receiver - built out of an assembly of atomic-scale defects in pink diamonds.
MIT researchers discover astonishing behavior of water confined in carbon nanotubes.
For centuries, scientists believed that light couldn't be focused down smaller than its wavelength. Now, researchers have created the world's smallest magnifying glass, which focuses light a billion times more tightly, down to the scale of single atoms.
After sensing dangerous chemicals, the carbon-nanotube-enhanced plants send an alert.
A new type of nanodevice for computer microprocessors is being developed that can mimic the functioning of a biological synapse -- the place where a signal passes from one nerve cell to another in the body.
Carbon nanotubes are one of the most conductive materials ever discovered. Now, for the first time ever, scientists made a transistor using carbon nanotubes that beats silicon.
Berkeley Lab researchers are using the science of the very small to help solve big challenges. Here are five projects, now underway which promise big results from the smallest of building blocks.
The US Navy is creating nanowires from one of the most renewable resources on the planet.
IBM Research in Zurich has created the world's first artificial nanoscale stochastic phase-change neurons. IBM has already created a population of 500 of these artificial neurons and used them to process a signal in a brain-like way.
A team of engineers at Washington University in St. Louis has found a way to use graphene oxide sheets to transform dirty water into drinking water, a discovery it says could be a global game-changer.
A new groundbreaking study in the journal Science Advances reveals that small “bridges” of multiple carbon nanotubes formed together to make a "sponge" support the growth of nerve fibers and can even connect individual nerve networks that have previously been severed.
