(PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers from the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology at the University of Twente, The Netherlands, working with American researchers, have succeeded in using an electrical signal to control both the elastic and the magnetic properties of a nanomaterial at a very localized level. This opens up new possibilities for data storage with very high data densities. Their findings are to be published in November in the leading scientific journal Nature Nanotechnology. http://www.physorg.com/news175445828.html Nanotechnology Thu, 22 Oct 2009 15:58:37 EST news175445828 (PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a measurement technique that will help scientists and companies map nanomaterials as they grow. The discovery could help create superior nanotechnologies and lead to the development of more efficient solar panels and increased magnetic data storage. http://www.physorg.com/news145026392.html Nanotechnology Tue, 04 Nov 2008 13:06:32 EST news145026392 Preliminary research by a team of ASU scientists suggests the presence of nanomaterials in drinking water may be dangerous to humans. Two of the researchers - principal investigator Paul Westerhoff and civil and environmental engineering professor John Crittenden - caution against drawing conclusions from these preliminary results, but they say initial results indicate that certain nanomaterials in water may be toxic. http://www.physorg.com/news6222.html Nanotechnology Sun, 04 Sep 2005 17:37:12 EST news6222 For the first time, investigators have a framework for assessing what health risks novel manmade nanomaterials might pose humans, experts told UPI's Nano World. A new report from government, industry and non-profit researchers maps out a strategy for scientists nationwide to follow to best understand what hazards these compounds might present. http://www.physorg.com/news7457.html Nanotechnology Fri, 21 Oct 2005 10:56:36 EST news7457 (PhysOrg.com) -- One of the more interesting methods of pattern transfer available for a number of applications right now is Laser Induced Forward Transfer (LIFT). However, when working with organic material, there are some drawbacks to LIFT, as well as other drawbacks to making use of a high threshold UV or IR laser to effect the transfer. `Besides thermal degradation,` Seung Hwan Ko tells PhysOrg.com, `high laser threshold laser can also induce mechanical cracks on transfer material and problems in edge sharpness.` http://www.physorg.com/news144340467.html Physics Mon, 27 Oct 2008 15:34:27 EST news144340467 (PhysOrg.com) -- Recent experiments to create a fast-reacting explosive by concocting it at the nanoscopic level could result in more spectacular firework displays. But more impressive to the Missouri University of Science and Technology professor who led the research, the method used to mix chemicals at that tiny scale could lead to new strong porous materials for high temperature applications, from thermal insulation in jet engines to industrial chemical reactors. http://www.physorg.com/news158512768.html Chemistry Thu, 09 Apr 2009 16:20:33 EST news158512768 (PhysOrg.com) -- Stanford scientists are harnessing nanotechnology to quickly produce ultra-lightweight, bendable batteries and supercapacitors in the form of everyday paper. http://www.physorg.com/news179427849.html Nanotechnology Mon, 07 Dec 2009 17:04:51 EST news179427849 The University of Oregon's Jim Hutchison already holds three patents in the emerging field of nanotechnology as well as leadership roles in organizations that promote the technology's potential in materials science and medicine. http://www.physorg.com/news126190898.html Nanotechnology Mon, 31 Mar 2008 14:01:38 EST news126190898 Paul Morrow has come a long way from his days as an elementary school student, pulling apart his mother`s cassette player. The talented young physicist has developed two innovations that could vastly improve magnetic data storage and sense extremely low level magnetic fields in everything from ink on counterfeit currency to tissue in the human brain and heart. http://www.physorg.com/news129982160.html Nanotechnology Wed, 14 May 2008 11:09:20 EST news129982160 Scientists could rapidly track potential impacts nanoparticles could have on cells via a new technique employing infrared scans, experts told UPI's Nano World. http://www.physorg.com/news11269.html Nanotechnology Tue, 28 Feb 2006 11:43:27 EST news11269 A research team at Northwestern University has developed a tool that can precisely deliver tiny doses of drug-carrying nanomaterials to individual cells. The tool, called the nanofountain probe, functions in two different ways. In one mode, the probe acts like a fountain pen with drug-coated nanodiamonds serving as the ink, allowing researchers to create devices by `writing` with it. The second mode functions as a single-cell syringe, permitting direct injection of biomolecules or chemicals into individual cells. The research was led by Horacio Dante Espinosa, Ph.D., and Dean Ho, Ph.D., and the results appear in the journal Small. http://www.physorg.com/news165512374.html Nanotechnology Mon, 29 Jun 2009 21:10:03 EST news165512374 Using a new x-ray microscope that can look at nanomaterials in three dimensions, an international research team has produced the first detailed atomic structure of a core-shell nanoparticle. http://www.physorg.com/news85070488.html Nanotechnology Mon, 11 Dec 2006 14:41:28 EST news85070488 By fabricating curved `nanocaps` to study nanoscale magnetism, scientists have discovered how to partly control magnetism reversal, which could improve applications such as data storage, recording media and biomedical technology. http://www.physorg.com/news11380.html Nanotechnology Fri, 03 Mar 2006 09:25:50 EST news11380 (PhysOrg.com) -- Graphene is a perfect example of the wonders of nanotechnology, in which common substances are scaled down to an atomic level to uncover new and exciting possibilities. http://www.physorg.com/news145544727.html Nanotechnology Mon, 10 Nov 2008 13:05:27 EST news145544727 A research team at Northwestern University has demonstrated a tool that can precisely deliver tiny doses of drug-carrying nanomaterials to individual cells. http://www.physorg.com/news161862130.html Nanotechnology Mon, 18 May 2009 10:42:37 EST news161862130
