Prevent Nanograss Collapsing: Strengthening Nanostructures
One-dimensional nanostructures like nanowires, nanobelts, and nanotubes attract considerable interest. However, common techniques to separate the nanostructures from the template can cause the structures to collapse.
Heavy Metal Free Environment with Plasma-Modified Carbon Nanotubes
Scientists at Institute of Plasma Physics, CAS, have developed a way to modify multiwalled carbon nanotubes to enhance their dispersion properties and adsorption capacities
Nano-Motor with a Light Switch
Light-triggered myosin allows real-time study of cells
Gaining muscle from mussels: High-strength CNT composite fibres
Merging the ultra-strong nature of carbon nanotubes and mussel-inspired linker molecules renders high-strength fibres via a simple spinning process.
Flexible Approach to Nano Building Blocks
Tetrahedral constructs of DNA are a new way to support proteins on functional nanostructures, according to work by U.S. scientists.
Do Exotic Block Copolymer Morphologies Really Exist?
The self-assembly of block polymers raises this question, discussed in the latest Trend Article in Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics.
Small but Powerful: Thin-Film Transistors
Very small organic thin-film transistors with high operating frequencies have been produced by Japanese and German scientists.
Microelectromechanical Switch-On: Carbon Nanotube Switches
Korean researchers make a tiny switch from carbon nanotubes.
What can Nanochemistry do for Chemical and Biological Sensing?
So what is next for nanochemical and biochemical sensor research? Shouldn’t we be trying to find the next glass pH electrode, rather than trying to squeeze that extra fraction of a percent out of our tried and tested materials?
