Below 100 Nanometers

Nanotechnology is the understanding and control of matter at the nanoscale, dimensions between approximately 1 and 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel applications. One nanometer is 1 billionth of a meter, a sheet of paper is about 100-thousand nanometers thick. read moreRead Full Story

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...Read Full Story

Ages and ages ago, a video went round of a Nokia concept, called Morph, that seemed to be set wayyyyyy in the future, ‘cos it was a bendy, wearable phone. But, as we all know, science marches ever onwards, and according to the latest video from the Nokia Conversations blog, they’re actually trying to develop the tech to make bendy phones a reality: Ooh, that could be pretty damn cool, when the boffins involved get it working. Of course, it most likely won’t be an entire suit made of rubber...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...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...Read Full Story

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...Read Full Story
