Nano Interfaces With Cells
New York (UPI) Jan 04, 2006Coatings made with titanium and peppered with pores only nanometers or billionths of a meter wide could help interface living cells with electronics for prosthetics and other advanced devices, experts told UPI's Nano World. UC Davis' Spectral Imaging Facility Brings New Focus To Nanotech 
Davis CA (SPX) Dec 16, 2005UC Davis researchers in nanotechnology, chemistry and biology now have access to one of the most advanced microscopes of its type in the world. The new Spectral Imaging Facility, opened this fall, is a combination of an atomic force microscope and a laser scanning confocal microscope, the first commercial machine of its kind. Why Nanolayers Buckle When Microbeams Bend 
Potsdam, Germany (SPX) Dec 16, 2005Scientists from the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces, working together with colleagues from the University of Vienna and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Grenoble, France have made the first-ever observations of nanocrystallite buckling in carbon fibres. |
The Return Of A Classic To Fuel Production
Mulheim an der Ruhr, Germany (SPX) Dec 15, 2005Because of the decreasing availability of oil, interest has been renewed world-wide in the production of liquid hydrocarbons from carbon monoxide and hydrogen using metal catalysts, also known as Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis. Cell-Based Nano Machine Breaks Nano-Record 
Woods Hole MA (SPX) Dec 13, 2005Researchers have known for some time that a long, fibrous coil grown by a single-cell protozoan is, gram for gram, more powerful than a car engine. Clear Hard Nano Based Coatings 
New York (UPI) Dec 13, 2005A transparent coating loaded with particles only nanometers or billionths of a meter in diameter is far harder than other conventional organic coatings on the market, for potential use in everything from iPods and cell phones to car windows and flexible video displays, experts told UPI's Nano World. |

Computer Simulation Shows Buckyballs Deform DNA
Nashville TN (SPX) Dec 07, 2005Soccer-ball-shaped "buckyballs" are the most famous players on the nanoscale field, presenting tantalizing prospects of revolutionizing medicine and the computer industry. Since their discovery in 1985, engineers and scientists have been exploring the properties of these molecules for a wide range of applications and innovations. Nanoparticles Set To Seek Out And Destroy Bad Cells 
New York (UPI) Dec 06, 2005A new method to develop collections of nanoparticles that each seek out different cell types could help scientists to better spot tumors before they grow or to deliver medicines to precise targets, experts told UPI's Nano World. Titania Nanoparticles Could Lead To Improved Sensors And Solar Energy 
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Dec 06, 2005Time evolution of the thermal properties during dehydration of sol-gel titania emulsions Nanostructured titania (TiO2) has been extensively studied as a very promising material for applications in sensors, photocatalysis, solar energy conversion and optical coatings. |
Snapshots At The Atomic Border
Stuttgart, Germany (SPX) Nov 29, 2005In order to manufacture chips optimally, we need a comprehensive understanding of every process and phenomenon that takes place at the atomic level - in particular at the interface between solid and liquid materials. Cardiff University Experts Drill Possibly World's Smallest Hole 
Cardiff, UK (SPX) Nov 29, 2005Experts at Cardiff University have developed machinery so sophisticated that they can drill a hole narrower than a human hair. Such precision has potentially major benefits in medical and electronic engineering. Nano World: Springy Cushions Of Nanotubes 
New York (UPI) Nov 25, 2005Super-resilient foams made of carbon tubes only nanometers or billionths of a meter wide that act like springs could help cushion blows in artificial joints or dampen vibrations in microscopic devices, experts told UPI's Nano World. |
