It’s not quite the Ant-Man suit, but the system produces 3-D structures one thousandth the size of the originals. MIT researchers have invented a way to fabricate nanoscale 3-D objects of ne... Read more
A simple technique for producing oxide nanowires directly from bulk materials could dramatically lower the cost of producing the one-dimensional (1D) nanostructures. That could open the door... Read more
By controlling a mix of clay, water and salt, Norwegian and Brazilian researchers have created nanostructures that might help boost oil production, expand the lifespan of certain foods or th... Read more
New technique to grow nanostructures that degrade organic matter when exposed to light A spot of sunshine is all it could take to get your washing done, thanks to pioneering nano research in... Read more
A revolutionary new type of smart window could cut window-cleaning costs in tall buildings while reducing heating bills and boosting worker productivity. Developed by University College Lond... Read more
New method to purify contaminated water Purifying water and greening nanotechnology could be as simple as shaking a vial of water and oil. At least that’s the case for a new method to... Read more
Such materials could seal blood vessels during surgery and re-open them subsequently. Materials that self-assemble and self-destruct once their work is done are highly advantageous for a num... Read more
Ultimately, Zhong Lin Wang notes, the research could lead to complete atomic-thick nanosystems that are self-powered by harvesting mechanical energy from the environment. Researchers from Co... Read more
Findings advance efficient solar spliting of water into hydrogen fuel A team of University of Maryland physicists has published new nanoscience advances that they and other scientists say ma... Read more
You wouldn’t think that mechanical force — the simple kind used to eject unruly patrons from bars, shoe a horse or emboss the raised numerals on credit cards — could process nanoparticles mo... Read more
