Anything related to nanotechnology feels fairly modern, doesn’t it? Although Richard Feynman planted the seeds of the idea in 1959, the word itself didn’t really get formed until the 70s or ...

Nowhere is this more true than for the vast set of capabilities that we have come to simply call nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is not an industry; nor is it a single technology or a single field of ...

But there are also a lot of positives. Let's take a look at the potentially beneficial effects nanotechnology-enabled innovations could have on our foods and, subsequently, on our health. Generally, ...

Recent breakthroughs have vastly expanded the understanding of morphological, structural, magnetic, thermal, and mechanical ...

LMU chemists present two studies that open up new possibilities for biotechnological applications.

There are many different ways to introduce the public to nanotechnology, writes Chris Toumey. Just don't mention human hairs or the space elevator. There is a growing list of books that introduce ...

Traditionally, capacitors are like really bad rechargeable batteries. Supercapacitors changed that, making it practical to use a fast-charging capacitor in place of rechargeable batteries.

Nanotechnology offers the promise of better solar cells and cleaner drinking water, but there are many practical obstacles to be overcome before nanotechnology can benefit the developing world ...

A research team at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden has made great progress toward developing next-generation nanoelectronics by removing basic restrictions on noise.

Thanks to nanoscale devices as small as human cells, researchers can create groundbreaking material properties, leading to smaller, faster, and more energy-efficient electronics. However, to fully ...

The water-soluble formula makes taking the oil super simple-just drop it into a beverage and drink it. The nanotechnology process used to make the oil reduces the size of cannabinoid particles to help ...

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will appoint an ad hoc committee to conduct the quadrennial review of the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI). The overall objective ...
