A new, cheaper test that diagnoses cancer or HIV in an instant could help tackle disease early in developing countries, UK researchers have said. Researchers from Imperial College London have developed…
You may not immediately think of world records when you consider chemistry, but that’s exactly what some chemists are thinking about during their research. Many, working on something called metal-organic…
Hydrogen can be released and reabsorbed from nano-structured storage material, overcoming a major hurdle to its use as an…
Supercomputer simulations can now show the nanomanufacturing technique of ion bombardment of metal surfaces and what goes…
Disease-controlling drugs can now be absorbed into the body more efficiently and without food. Using nanotechnology, the…
Nanotechnologies can be used to ensure disease-conrolling drugs are absorbed into the body much more effectively than traditional…
Scientists have developed transparent, flexible memory chips which could aid the development of futuristic see-through gadgets…
Imagine a material that is just one atom thick, 300 times stronger than steel, harder than diamond, a fantastic conductor of heat and electricity and super-flexible to boot. This might sound like the stuff…
Nanoparticles found in food and pharmaceuticals have a negative impact on health; both short term and long term. Short term…
Nanotubes are excellent conductors of heat and can generate electric currents. It’s a discovery that could allow fuel-coated…
A promising new technique for welding nanowires with a simple blast of light has been demonstrated by engineers at Stanford…
A new acid-powered micro-rocket could be used to deliver drugs within the human body. The micro-rocket works by converting…
A “nanodiamond” coating could be used to create longer-lasting and less-painful artificial joints. When existing artificial…
Skynet might not be that far away after all, if this video from researchers at the University of Pennsylvania is anything…
A carbon nanotube coating capable of of absorbing 99.9% of an object’s light has been developed by engineers. The coating…
Testing the effectiveness of drugs treating conditions such as cancer in real time may be closer to reality thanks to a new…
The world’s lightest solid material has been developed by researchers from The University of California and California Institute…
A eucalyptus plant native to south west WA has unique self-cleaning and water-repellent properties which could make it a…
The idea of doctors deploying miniscule robots in your body to diagnose and treat medical conditions is closer to reality today with the development of artificial muscles small and strong enough to push…
Marble-sized pellets made from thermoelectric nanomaterials have been designed to generate electricity from waste heat. The…
