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.
The Nanotechnology Knowledge Transfer Network (NanoKTN), one of the UK?s primary knowledge-based networks for Micro and Nanotechnologies, has announced its support for one of the largest funding rounds that has been made available to the micro and nanotechnology sector.
While most funding programs are run on three- to five-year cycles, nanotechnology research funding will come under increasing scrutiny from funding agencies ...
St. Mary’s Academy presented the First Annual Girls’ Science Symposium on January 27 on the theme of “Nanotechnology: The Next Industrial Revolution?” Nanotechnology is a branch of science and engineering devoted to the design and production of extremely small technology, measured in nanometers...
Religion and science have always had an uneasy coexistence, and nanotechnology is not exempt. The more religious a person, the more likely they are to find nanotechnology morally unacceptable, a recent study finds. Is that rooted in reality or the misperception of nanotechnology as altering natur
The future of the nanotechnology field depends on our ability to reliably and reproducibly assemble nanoparticles into 3D structures we can use to develop new technologies. According to Hao Yan and Yan Liu at Arizona State University, the greatest challenges in this burgeoning field include...
The new center in Ukraine will focus on fundamental and applied research in nanotechnology for energy efficiency such as cathode, solar-electric and thermoelectric materials.
Using a new assembly process, a team of researchers at Northeastern University?s National Science Foundation (NSF) Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center for High-rate Nanomanufacturing (CHN) manufactured large-scale patterned single-walled nanotube (SWNT) networks in complex patterns.
More than 2,500 elementary, middle- and high-school students throughout New York State participated in educational outreach programs and initiatives this year at the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering of the University at Albany.
A new research center in Ukraine will focus on fundamental and applied research in nanotechnology for energy efficiency such as cathode, solar-electric and ...
Nanotechnology policy experts are urging that food additives that contain nanoscale materials be subject to new safety testing to ensure that their use does not pose unintended risks.
A collaboration between the A.J. Drexel Nanotechnology Institute (DNI) and the A.J. Drexel Plasma Institute (DPI) has enabled high-impact research results, published in the journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition. The paper, "Nanoscale Corona Discharge in Liquids Enabling Nanosecond...
When you get down to scales of a billionth of a metre, even the simplest, best-known materials can take on surprising new properties. Strength, adhesion and absorption can all be multiplied manyfold if you just find the right nanoscale structure. And, in 2008, many engineers did.
The development of electron-beam lithography, focused ion beam milling, and other nanofabrication techniques has provided researchers with great freedom to pattern metallic structures at the nanoscale. This has fueled the design and implementation of new ultracompact photonic devices based on the...
