How Big an Impact?
As Impact Factor fever sweeps the academic world, we take a closer look at Impact Factors in general, and the performance of Advanced Materials in Impact Factor 2009. No vuvuzelas or video technology allowed…
Electronics made from ribbons
Tapered nano-sized ribbons have been made by tearing sheets of graphene from a sticky surface.
Small, Fast, and High Contrast
Imaging technique enables studies on the dynamics of nanocatalysts at unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution.
Inner Space
Metals encapsulated within carbon nanotubes by capillary action are prevented from crystallizing by the confined space of the nanotubes.
Buckle Up
In situ mechanical testing of 50-mm-diameter bundles of uniaxially compressed carbon nanotubes reveals periodic buckle nucleation and propagation.
Concepts of Nanochemistry—Nanoscience as Part of Undergraduate Studies?
Nikolaus Korber recommends “Concepts of Nanochemistry”, a “fun to read” textbook with high didactic quality addressed to university teachers, students, and the interested general public.
Nano-Networking Down-Under
Reporting from the International Conference on Nanoscience and Nanotechnology 2010, held in Sydney, Australia.
High-Performance Nanotubes
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are considered to be the next-generation reinforcement material to potentially replace conventional carbon fibers for producing superhigh-performance lightweight composites.
