Working at levels as small as a billionth of a metre, researchers on an IAEA project have studied radiation’s effect on nano-architectures – the design and building of nano structures – and identified ...

The performance and stability of smartphones and artificial intelligence (AI) services depend on how uniformly and precisely ...

In 1990, physicist Donald Eigler used a scanning tunneling microscope to take 35 individual xenon atoms and arrange them to spell the name of his company, IBM. The world’s tiniest corporate logo made ...

How can we ensure that life-saving drugs or genetic therapies reach their intended target cells without causing harmful side effects? Researchers at Helmholtz Munich, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität ...

Nanoscale science, engineering, and technology, often referred to simply as "nanotechnology," is the understanding, characterization, and control of matter at the scale of nanometers, the dimension of ...

Nanotechnology is at the heart of critical and emerging technologies from quantum computing to precision farming—yielding tremendous economic, societal, and national security benefits. As global ...

Andrew Maynard has received funding from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation for research on the potential risks and benefits of nanotechnology. He was previously the ...

Carbon nanotube sandpaper polishes semiconductor surfaces down to a few atoms, reducing defects by 67% and eliminating chemical slurry waste.

At the heart of bottom-up nanotechnology lies a process driven by thermodynamics and kinetics, rather than the deterministic approaches characteristic of top-down methods. This fundamental difference ...

Cell membranes are the boundaries of living cells. They are made up of amphiphilic lipids, cholesterol, and membrane proteins arranged in a dynamic bilayer. They regulate signal transduction, ...

Scientists improved battery durability and energy density with a nano-spring coating. A research team led by Professor Kyu-Young Park from the Institute of Ferrous & Eco Materials Technology, ...
