Research helps to make the most of nanoscale catalytic effects for nanotechnology

Research may lead to new lines of direct communication with living cells

LEGO-style building method has potential for making one-dimensional materials with extraordinary properties

Composite material yields ten times—or higher—voltage output

New technology allows multispectral reactions on a single chip

Researchers were inspired to study how nanoparticles could gain biological functions through the enzymes that drive sperm tails

The new film is made of fused silver nanowires, and is produced by spraying the nanowire particles through a tiny jet nozzle at supersonic speed

Nanotech enables powerful and portable sterilization equipment

The breakthrough would essentially turn jackets and other clothing into wearable, solar-powered batteries that never need to be plugged in

One difficulty in nanorobot design is to make nanostructures sense and respond to the environment
