A team of researchers from the SuperSTEM facility at Science & Technology Facilities Council’s Daresbury Laboratory and The University of Manchester has found that graphene, a one-atom-thick carbon material, undergoes a self-mending process to repair holes.
Based on the standardized AATCC100 test, SGS, an inspection, verification, testing and certification firm, demonstrated that the XTIO2 Active-Shield Fabric has achieved the world’s highest 100% antibacterial efficacy rate. Cleancoating, a Philadelphia-based company, had commissioned the tests.
Zyvex Marine, the division of Zyvex Technologies that employs molecular nanotechnology to marine design, engineering and manufacturing, has launched the Long Range Vessel, LRV-17. It is the first manned boat to be made of nano-composite materials.
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council has awarded a grant worth £1.2 million to researchers at The University of Nottingham to engineer nanomaterials for medical applications.
A research team comprising Drs. Takaaki Mano, Yoshiki Sakuma and Masafumi Jo from the Photonic Materials Unit of the National Institute for Materials Science is involved in the development of a sophisticated self-assembling technology known as droplet epitaxy for semiconductor quantum dots.
A team of engineers led by Harvard presented a plan to develop self-thermoregulating nanomaterials, which can be customized in order to maintain a set pressure, pH, or any other required parameter by fulfilling the ecological alterations with the help of chemical feedback response.
A team of scientists from the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) and the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki has developed a simple, eco-friendly, low-cost technique that is capable of rapidly producing silver nanoparticles, an important nanomaterial used in drug delivery, contaminant solvents, catalysts and electronic devices.
Carbon nanotubes which were discovered two decades ago are hollow tubes of carbon with the same dimensions as a DNA strand. Nanotubes have enormous potential for application in diagnostics and disease treatment, sensors and paintable batteries and in new generation power cables.
Graphene, a one-atom-thick graphitic carbon layer, shows promise to be used as a transistor that may help develop faster and smaller consumer electronic devices.
Teijin Group's subsidiary, Teijin Fibers is supplying NANOFRONT, a high-strength polyester nanofiber, to New Balance, who will use the product in its running shoe replacement insoles. New Balance Japan will market the insoles and the products will be sold in the company’s directly owned shops in Osaka and Tokyo and also through local sports retail stores.
