Researchers from the University of California at Berkeley and Rice University have discovered that when stress is applied, graphene does not rip apart randomly like paper but follows the least resistance path resulting in new edges that provide remarkable properties to the wonder material.
Pioneer Surgical, a company specializing in medical devices, has announced the start of human clinical study of its three-dimensionally shaped bone graft product called nanOss Bioactive 3D that consists of a proprietary collagen-based biopolymer and nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite to support the growth of bone in the posterolateral spine.
A research team led by Dr. Christian Russel from the Otto-Schott-Institute for Glass Chemistry, Friedrich Schiller University Jena, has developed a novel glass-ceramic material with a nanocrystalline structure, which can be used in dentistry applications thanks to its optical properties and superior strength.
A research team led by Vincent Meunier from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has discovered the unique properties of graphene nanowiggles, a new type of graphene material, by utilizing the capabilities of the Rensselaer Center for Nanotechnology Innovations (CCNI).
N.E. Chemcat Corporation, a producer of precious metal and catalyst in Japan, has licensed the electrocatalyst technology conceptualized by researchers at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in the U.S. Department of Energy.
Professors Kostya Novoselov and Andre Geim, who received the Nobel Prize for Physics for their innovative research works to study graphene and its superior properties, have been awarded knighthoods. They have been knighted for ‘Services to Science.’
Graphene has the tendency to stack together to form graphite. A method developed by scientists from the University of Cambridge, DSO National Laboratories and the National University of Singapore (NUS) prevents graphene sheets from re-stacking by bonding alkyl surface chains on them, while maintaining the characteristics of their nano-graphene pockets.
A research team led by Xiuling Li, who serves as a Professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, has developed a low-cost method to fabricate high-aspect-ratio, large-area III-V nanostructures for applications in advanced optoelectronic devices such as lasers and solar cells.
Using plasmonic nanoantenna arrays, Purdue University researchers have demonstrated new ways of accurately manipulating the propagation of light by modifying its phase, opening the door for new class of optical advancements such as powerful computers, telecommunications and microscopes.
ItN Nanovation, a portfolio company of Nanostart, has announced that its nanocoating product dubbed Nanocomp Metcast has successfully passed field trials conducted by IRKAZ, RUSAL’s aluminum smelter located in Irkutsk, and experts at the Engineering and Technology Center of RUSAL.
