Porous silicon nanoneedles for barcodes and other applications
Researchers at the University of Texas have fabricated biodegradable, nanobarcodes of silicon. The porosity of the silicon structures enables their applications in bioengineering, energy storage, and drug delivery systems.
The Good Nano Stuff – Where Is It Going?
Professor Geoffrey Ozin shares his views on the current state of nanoscience, in particular the future of the promising nanomaterials: Where is the good nano stuff going?
Atomic Switches with Larger Gaps and Light-Dependence
Light is needed to initiate a new type of atomic switch that has gaps larger than the previously required 1 nm. A series of such wavelength-dependent devices could one day be used for image recognition.
Magnetic Micromachines
Chinese researchers have used lasers to made tiny springs and turbines out of a polymerized ferrofluid, which could be used in micro- or nanomachines.
Brushes Grown on Brushes
How to make one layer of polymer brushes on top of another layer by using a simple chemical initiator method…
A Nanotrampoline Study
A one-step process is used to prepare a variety of nanoparticle membranes that exhibit trampoline-like properties.
Nanoparticle temperature memory sensor
Ever wondered if your food has been kept cold enough before you buy it? Here’s a way to find out…using nanoparticles to sense and record temperature changes.
MaterialsViews Interviews: Karen Gleason
MaterialsViews catches up with Karen Gleason, Associate Dean of Engineering at MIT, to talk CVD, scientific jigsaws, and The Good Doctor.
