Nanoscience and Nanotechnology News

Researchers have developed new systems for storing electrical energy derived from alternative sources that are, in some cases, 10 times more efficient than what is commercially available.

A new ink developed by researchers at the University of Illinois allows them to write their own silver linings.

Tiny light-emitting diodes with optical microsystems that can produce all the colors of the rainbow, a new method for producing printed circuit boards – Fraunhofer researchers are showing innovative developments at the nano tech 2009 exhibition in Japan.

Engineers are patenting a method that is expected to double the service life of concrete. The key is a nano-sized additive.

Ever since the 1966 Hollywood movie, doctors have imagined a real-life Fantastic Voyage a medical vehicle shrunk small enough to “submarine” in and fix faulty cells in the body. Thanks to new research that reality may be only three years away.

Researchers have invented dust-particle-size devices that can be used to grab and remove living cells from hard-to-reach places without the need for electrical wires.

Magicians have long created the illusion of levitating objects in the air. Now researchers have actually levitated an object, suspending it without the need for external support.

Scientists from Queen Mary, University of London have improved their understanding of the inner workings of our computers and MP3 players, thanks to an exciting new field of research called 'organic spintronics'.

Imagine a self-powering cell phone that never needs to be charged because it converts sound waves produced by the user into the energy it needs to keep running.

Laboratory researchers have posited an explanation for superconductivity that may open the door to the discovery of new, unconventional forms of superconductivity.
