CelluForce, a Canada-based joint venture between Domtar and FPInnovations, will deliver a presentation about its novel nanocrystalline cellulose material and its performance-enhancing capabilities at the forthcoming BioPlastek 2012 Forum.
A research team from the Northwestern University has found that one-dimensional materials such as individual gallium nitride nanowires demonstrate powerful piezoelectricity, a three-dimensional phenomenon caused by the application of mechanical stress.
Intertek Cantox, a company offering regulatory and scientific consulting services, has developed a novel method called the Nano Study Score method to support superior-quality nanotoxicology studies in order to assess the safety of nanomaterial- and nanotechnology-based products.
Scientists from the Purdue University, Melbourne University and University of New South Wales have fabricated the smallest silicon-based wire in the world, with a current-conducting capability equivalent to that of copper wires. The silicon wire has four-atom width and one-atom height.
Using quantum mechanical calculations, a research team at the University of Houston has demonstrated that a graphene sheet can be converted into a piezoelectric material by producing holes in a specific pattern onto it.
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.
