This latest comment of mine comes on the heels of a report entitled “ Nanotechnology: A Realistic Market Assessment ” that estimates that the global sales revenues for nanotechnology will reach $26 billion in 2015—a far cry from the $1 trillion figures that are widely circulated.
Graphene may yet make its way into the tiny circuitry thanks to a new property that a team of researchers describe in a paper in Nature Nanotechnology. When placed in a magnetic field, the graphene’s ability to conduct current can be raised or lowered depending on the field’s direction. The property may give scientists a workaround to get even tiny, highly resistant ribbons to conduct current …

The tiny crevices of butterfly wings are the ideal design for nanotechnology that could make subway stations safer, according to scientists at Fairfield-based General Electric Co.
Are you the sort of person who likes reading murder reports or whodunit books and solving cases? If you do, then there’s a chance for you to get some firsthand experience of forensic investigation.
Have scientists developed an invisible cloak? Researchers are reporting advancements in “metamaterials,” used in such optical technology as ultra-powerful microscopes, computers and possibly an invisibility cloak, according to Purdue University.
I suppose we all have our ways of judging the quality of car care products. When it comes to car wax, bugs are my criteria. Each summer, I drive my pickup from Arizona back to Michigan, which means that over the course of 2,000 miles, the front of the truck accumulates a lot of bugs, or at least the remains of a lot of bugs.

Martin Courtney, Computing , Tuesday 3 August 2010 at 10:35:00 Martin Courtney explores how future nanotechnology will support a new generation of computer systems Academics and large corporations all over the world are busy pouring money into nanotechnology research. Finding new ways to build smaller, more powerful CPUs; low-power, flexible computer displays and touchscreens; and longer-life …
Assistant Professor and program coordinator Qiaoying Zhou from Northwest Vista College stopped by the SA Living Show to explain what nanotechnology is and how their program is run.
A start-up Auckland firm is applying nanotechnology to a fisheries by-product to manufacture 100% biodegradable, antibacterial air filters—a New Zealand first in an expanding global market.
Will a month-long festival of nanotechnology be a matter of science imitating art or art imitating science?
Nanotechnology refers to a broad range of tools, techniques and applications that simply involve particles on the approximate size scale of a few to hundreds of nanometers in diameter. Particles of this size have some unique physicochemical and surface properties that lend themselves to novel uses…
An Atlanta company announced Thursday it plans to open a laboratory in Lexington to develop nanomate
Nanotechnology refers to a broad range of tools, techniques and applications that simply involve particles on the approximate size scale of a few to hundreds of nanometers in diameter. Particles of this size have some unique physicochemical and surface properties that lend themselves to novel uses. Indeed, advocates of nanotechnology suggest that this area of research could contribute to …
The Nano Science and Technology Institute , in cooperation with the Office of Science and Technology Policy and the National Nanotechnology Coordination Office , announced today a National Nanotechnology Innovation Summit to mark the 10th anniversary of the National Nanotechnology Initiative to be held December 8-10, 2010 at the Gaylord National Hotel & Convention Center in National Harbor, MD …
Let’s get talking about nanotech. The science of the very small has filled the food industry with big ideas – but industry is torn on how to present nanotechnology to consumers, stalling product development.
