Vorbeck Materials and its partners Princeton University and Pacific Northwest National Labs (PNNL) have won the R&D 100 Award, an annual award instituted by R&D Magazine in honor of 100 most important technological and scientific products and innovations of the year.
A multi-institute team of researchers has imaged and shown the propagation of surface plasmons on graphene using an infrared light beam and demonstrated a way to control them utilizing a basic electrical circuit.
Using carbon nanotubes, Rice University scientists, Bruce Weisman and Satish Nagarajaiah, have developed a new class of paint named ‘strain paint,’ which is capable of detecting strain in airplanes, bridges and buildings.
A study carried out at the Richard E. Smalley Institute for Nanoscale Science and Technology, Rice University, revealed the potential of flattened carbon nanotubes. Labeled as closed-edged graphene nanoribbons, they are the result of carbon nanotubes collapsing during growth.
Graphene is a single-layer sheet of carbon atoms. The structure of graphene consists of six-member carbon rings, resembling a honeycomb. The single layer, two dimensional structures imparts the properties unique to graphene such as transparency, flexibility, strength, electrical and thermal conductivity.
Research carried out at North Carolina State University to identify better methods for genetic material packaging to aid in gene therapy has led to findings that could significantly impact gene therapy research and DNA-based electronics.
Research groups in Spain have succeeded in imaging light confined on graphene. Graphene is a single-layered sheet of carbon atoms. The imaging confirms the long-standing theory that graphene can be used as a medium to confine and manipulate light efficiently and also provides scope for merging the fields of nano-optics and nano-electronics.
Research carried out by Patna University botanist, Naheed Ahmad and physicist, Seema Sharma, has yielded an environment friendly method to synthesize silver nanoparticles. The study titled "Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles from biowaste pomegranate peels" is published in the International Journal of Nanoparticles.
Nanocomposites developer, NaturalNano . has released an online video that demonstrates the separation of circulating tumor cells (CTC) from blood by employing microtubes which are lined with NaturalNano’s halloysite nanotubes (HNT).
A collaborative study by researchers from Hong Kong Polytechnic, Rice University and Tsinghua University shows that it is possible to build single layered carbon nanotubes measuring 1 m in length. This is significant to researchers who are constantly trying to build advanced materials that could change the landscape of power distribution systems.
