Below 100 Nanometers

A community portal about Below 100 Nanometers with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Nanotechnology is a field of applied science and technology covering a broad range of topics. The main unifying theme is the control of matter on a scale below 100 nano meters, as well as the fabrication of devices on this same length scale. It is a highly multidisciplinary field, drawing from fields such as colloidal science, device physics, and supramolecular chemistry. Much speculation exists as to what new science and technology might result from these lines of research. Some view nanotechnology as a marketing term that describes pre-existing lines of research.

Nanotechnology refers broadly to a field of applied science and technology whose unifying theme is the control of matter on the atomic and molecular scale, normally 1 to 100 nanometers, and the fabrication of devices within that size range. It is a highly multidisciplinary field, drawing from fields such as applied physics, materials science, interface and colloid science, device physics, supramolecular chemistry, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering. Much speculation exists as to what new science and technology may result from these lines of research. Nanotechnology can be seen as an extension of existing sciences into the nanoscale, or as a recasting of ... Read Full Story

New data from a Chinese-Danish collaboration shows that organic nanoscale wires could be an alternative to silicon in computer chips. The discovery has just been published in the respected scientific journal, Advanced Materials. Nanochemists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Nano-Science Center, Department of Chemistry, at the University of Copenhagen, have developed nanoscale electric contacts out of organic and inorganic nanowires. In the contact they have crossed the wires like Mikado sticks and coupled several contacts together in an electric circuit. In this way they have produced prototype computer electronics on the nanoscale. Alternative to silicon computers Today the foundation of our ... Read Full Story

An hour before noon and I'm just now having my first cup of coffee. I decided to try Emerald's Vanilla Bean BAM! flavored coffee with two spoons of sugar (not salt this time!) and a bit of questionable milk in a Circle City Tickets mug. It's very strong and nothing like the description on the box. That's what I get for being sold out by a brand name... or perhaps it's the bad milk...??? Nevertheless, the sun is shining bright today and temperatures will be high 70's, but the best news of all is the current weekend forecast. Race Day weekend is looking to be full sun ...

Nanotechnology is characterized as the understanding and control of matter at dimensions of roughly 1 to 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel applications. This is the basic definition used by the U.S., Canadian, European and Japanese governments and academicians – the areas of the world that are leading the pack with regard to research and development. Nanotechnology encompasses nanoscale science, engineering and technology, and involves imaging, measuring, modeling, and manipulating matter on the nanoscale. It’s difficult to get a handle on what nanoscale means, but to give you an idea one nanometer is one-billionth of a meter thereby a sheet of paper is ... Read Full Story

Food Nanotechnology: Australia takes action?

There continues to be much discussion on the potential benefits of nanotechnology (manipulation of matter of less than 100 nanometers) in food. The applications range from use to improve food safety (e.g., nanosilver acts as an antibacterial agent), to improved food packaging, to controlled delivery of nutrients. Here's the deal, in a nutshell: we know very little about the actual implementation/delivery of such applications (meaning, in most cases it's highly theoretical/speculative); much of the research is being done by entrepreneurial/start-ups with limited resources and/or knowledge for/of safety testing; the research that is/may be being done by the major food companies is not being shared; ...
