Researchers from the University of Rochester, N.Y. developed a new ultra thin porous membrane which may revolutionize the way doctors and scientists manipulate objects on the molecular level. The new membrane is only 50-atom thick and can withstand very high ...
Nanobatteries stop Exploding Batteries
A new, safer type of Li-Ion nanobattery that might help prevent future fires and explosions related to conventional Li-Ion battery use has been developed by researchers at Tel Aviv University. These nanobatteries should also prove useful for various micro devices ...
New Model Nanocar on the Showroom Floor
A year after the creation of the first nanocar by scientists from Rice University, a new and improved version is on the showroom floor. The new car, which includes a light-driven engine, opens the door to future development of more ...
Buckypaper – Nanotubes on Steroids
Though widely researched for many years, the transfer of nanotube properties to composite materials to produce high performance composites has proved a difficult feat. Research for the past five years at the Florida Advanced Center for Composite Technologies on the ...
