Bistable graphene transistor developed
Device is capable of revolutionising technologies for medical imaging and security screening.
Look Both Ways: Metallic Janus Particles Reviewed
Patchy particles, and Janus particles in particular, already have such broad application potential that it’s hard to believe they are a relatively young concept to nanoscience.
Photovoltaics researcher elected to Royal Society
Martin Green from UNSW, a pioneer in solar photovoltaic science and engineering, has been elected into the prestigious Fellowship of the Royal Society.
"Smart" nano-network can control insulin release for diabetes treatment
Researchers have developed a network of nanoscale particles that can be injected into the body and release insulin when blood-sugar levels rise.
Process turns carbon nanotubes into liquid crystals
Rice University strategy turns negatively charged carbon nanotubes into liquid crystals that could enhance the creation of fibers and films.
Zinc could be a "golden" bullet for bioabsorbable stents
Some materials dissolve too quickly in the body, and some hang around forever — zinc, however, may be just right.
Old technique can be used to sort carbon nanotubes
An old, somewhat passé, trick used to purify protein samples based on their affinity for water has found new fans at NIST.
New materials for heart tissue regeneration
A new biomaterial for heart tissue regeneration, resembling live cardiac tissue in key characteristics, has been reported.
New super-resolution microscopy does not require dyes
Researchers have found a way to see synthetic nanostructures and molecules using a new type of optical microscopy that does not require fluorescent dyes.
