Nanotechnology, the ability to manipulate structures on an atomic level, has the potential to revolutionize our world.
This nanocrystallized glass effectively absorbs UV rays and can withstand radiation for long periods of time.
In an effort to eliminate the cooling required for superconductivity, scientists have created a superconductor with a porous, 3D gyroidal structure.
A team of UCLA led scientists have conjured a new magnesium based metal with the help of nanoparticles and it just might find application in a variety of industries ranging from aeronautics and space to automotive and biomedical.
Today, much has changed when it comes to metals and materials in general, but one thing remains the same: It's advancement in this industry that drives innovations and breakthroughs everywhere else.
Nanowerk, the leading nanotechnology portal, is committed to educate, inform and inspire about nanotechnologies, nanosciences, and other emerging techs
EPFL spin-off Nanolive has launched the 3D Cell Explorer, a microscope for observing living cells in 3D. This new tool could be a real boon for researchers in such areas as infertility.
How tiny can a computer get and what can it do? Digital sensors are already traveling inside human bodies. Will shrinking sizes eventually do away with the bulky devices we use now?
Scientists have developed a new method for optical manipulation of matter at the nanoscale. Using ‘plasmonic hotspots’ – regions with electric current that heat up very locally – gold nanostructures can be melted and made to produce the smallest nanojets ever observed. The tiny gold nanodroplets formed in the nanojets, are perfectly spherical, which makes them interesting for applications in medicine.
Ali Aliev, the researcher have created a working invisibility cloak using one of nature's common yet bizarre phenomena -- the "mirage effect."In a video posted to YouTube, the strands are seen appearing and disappearing during a demonstration in Mr Aliev's lab.
MIT engineers have designed a new type of nanoparticle that could safely and effectively deliver vaccines for diseases such as HIV and malaria. The new
To rebuild damaged parts of a human body from scratch is a dream that has long fired human imagination, from Mary Shelley
