 Graphene used to create world's smallest transistorResearchers have used the world's thinnest material to create the world's smallest transistor, one atom thick and ten atoms wide. |
Researchers create the first thermal nanomotor in the worldResearchers from the UAB Research Park have created the first nanomotor that is propelled by changes in temperature. A carbon nanotube is capable of transporting cargo and rotating like a conventional motor, but is a million ... |
Data storage using ultra-small needlesDutch researcher Alexander le Fèbre has demonstrated that a field-emission current signal can be used to arrange the position of thousands of nanometre-sharp needles. These probes can be applied to write and read in new storage ... |
Hydrogen storage in nanoparticles worksDutch chemist Kees Baldé has demonstrated that hydrogen can be efficiently stored in nanoparticles. This allows hydrogen storage to be more easily used in mobile applications. Baldé discovered that 30 nanometre particles ... |
The future of computing -- carbon nanotubes and superconductors to replace the silicon chipThe future of computing is under the spotlight at the Institute of Physics’ Condensed Matter and Materials Physics conference at the Royal Holloway College of the University of London on 26-28 March. |
Bacteria and nanofilters -- the future of clean water technologyBacteria often get bad press, with those found in water often linked to illness and disease. But researchers at The University of Nottingham are using these tiny organisms alongside the very latest membrane filtration techniques ... |

Scientists show how some solids mimic liquids on nanoscaleA University of Waterloo physics and astronomy research team, in a paper to be published Friday in Science Magazine, shows how some solids behave like liquids on the nanoscale. |
Using nanotech to make RobocopsBulletproof jackets do not turn security guards, police officers and armed forces into Robocops, repelling the force of bullets in their stride. New research in carbon nanotechnology however could give those in the line ... |
 What makes Mars magnetic?So how have these rocks hung onto their magnetic directions and what do they tell us about Mars? Strangely, the answer to these questions might be sitting here on Earth. |
 Using a magnet to tune a magnetAn international research team, led by scientists at the London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN), has found a way to switch a material’s magnetic properties from ‘hard’ to ‘soft’ and back again – something ... |
 Nanotech clay armour creates fire resistant hard wearing latex emulsion paintsResearchers at the University of Warwick's Department of Chemistry have found a way of replacing the soap used to stabilize latex emulsion paints with nanotech sized clay armour that can create a much more ... |
Solar breakthrough could lead to cheaper powerSolar energy could become more affordable following a breakthrough by Australian scientists, who have boosted the efficiency of solar cell technology. |
 Feather-light touch all that's needed for Darwin's frictionless opticsESA's Darwin mission will look for extrasolar planets and signs of life. The Agency's Technology Research Programme has sponsored the development of critical optical components whose frictionless mechanism ... |
 New graphene transistor promises life after death of silicon chip (Update)Researchers have used the world's thinnest material to create the world's smallest transistor – a breakthrough that could spark the development of a new type of super-fast computer chip. |
