A nanotechnology award for NASA: NASA is rarely associated with nanotechnologies. But one of its researchers working at the NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center just received a Nanotech Briefs Nano 50 award for a manufacturing process for high-quality carbon nanotubes CNTs. Because of its ability to produce bundles of CNTs without using a metal catalyst,...; Tags: Nanotube, NASA, Carbon Nanotube, Manufacturing, CNT, Metal Catalyst, Nanotechnology, Emerging Technologies, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2007-11-15
How radio waves really can kill cancer: When I first read this I thought it was crazy, but it's not. Scientists at Rice University and the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston are injecting carbon nanotubes into tumors, then hitting the tumors with radio waves. Lead scientist Steven Curley of M.D....; Tags: Rice University, Nanotube, Radio, Scientist, Carbon Nanotube, Cancer, Nanotechnology, Advertising & Promotion, Emerging Technologies, Marketing, Dana Blankenhorn; Blog posts 2007-11-05
Repelling bullets with nanotube armors: Australian engineers have found a way to use the elasticity of carbon nanotubes to not only stop bullets penetrating material but actually rebound their force. Their anti-ballistic carbon nanotubes are very different from the current materials used to design bullet-proof jackets, such as Kevlar, Twaron or Dyneema fibers. Current jackets...; Tags: Nanotube, Bullet, Carbon Nanotube, Jacket, Nanotechnology, Emerging Technologies, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2007-10-31
Carbon Nanotube Bumps for Thermal and Electric Conduction in Transistor: The continuous miniaturization of semiconductor chips has rapidly improved the performance of semiconductor products. However, thermal issues that affect semi- conductor chips are becoming more serious. For example, heat transfer has become a very serious problem in the CPUs of personal computers; high-frequency High-Power Amplifiers HPAs of mobile communication systems;...; Tags: Nanotube, Mobile, Transistor, Carbon Nanotube, Fujitsu Ltd., Mobile Communication, Nanotechnology, Cellular Phones, Semiconductors, Emerging Technologies, Consumer Electronics, Personal Technology, Hardware; White papers 2007-10-01
Filming nanotubes inside living animals: A team of researchers at Rice University has filmed carbon nanotubes inside living animals. They've used a custom-built microscope and a technique called near-infrared fluorescent imaging to detect DNA-sized nanotubes inside living fruit flies. But more importantly, they've compared a group of fruit fly larvae fed with a yeast paste...; Tags: Nanotube, Larva, Carbon Nanotube, Fruit Fly, Nanotechnology, Emerging Technologies, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2007-09-25

The best of two nanoworlds: As you probably know by now, carbon nanotubes show amazing mechanical strength, while metal nanowires show very interesting optical and electrical properties. Combining both has proved to be a challenge. But if it was possible, this would open the way to the use of carbon nanotubes in computer chips, displays...; Tags: Nanotechnology, Computers &, Internet, Wireless &, Telecom, Science &, Nature, Engineering &, Innovation, carbon nanotube, nanotube; Blog posts 2007-01-15
Piano nanowires: Dutch researchers have made what they call the worlds smallest piano wire. In fact, these wires are made of carbon nanotubes measuring approximately 1 micrometer long and approximately 2 nanometers in diameter. After attaching these nanotubes to electrodes and applying alternating current of various frequencies, the nanotubes started to vibrate...; Tags: Engineering &, Innovation, Science &, Nature, Nanotechnology, nanotube; Blog posts 2006-11-28
Nanoknives to cut cells: American researchers have built a carbon nanotube knife. According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology NIST, this nanoknife will be used to cut and study cells. With this new tool, scientists and biologists will be able to make 3D images of cells and tissues for electron tomography, which...; Tags: Nanotechnology, nanotube, NIST, carbon nanotube, MWCNT; Blog posts 2006-11-24

Mixing brain cells and nanodots: It's not the first time that animal brain cells have been used in conjunction with nanoparticles. But now, a team of Israeli researchers has grown self-organizing networks of rat brain cells by binding them to carbon nanotubes. In a short article, New Scientist reports that these neural networks are remarkably...; Tags: cell, nanotube, network; Blog posts 2006-06-24
Nanotubes can resist to 400,000 atmospheres: Can you believe that carbon nanotubes can resist to pressures as high as 40 gigapascals -- or about a tenth of the one at the center of the Earth? When this limit is reached, they collapse. But before breaking, they propagate this pressure to whatever has been put inside them,...; Tags: nanotube; Blog posts 2006-05-28
'Cooking' carbon nanotubes like spaghetti: Scientists from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory PNNL have developed a technique to force a variety of enzymes to self-assemble layer-by-layer on carbon nanotubes CNTs with the help of noodle-like polymer molecules. In "A biosensor layered like lasagna," the researchers say that this technique can be applied to a wide...; Tags: carbon nanotube, nanotube, polymer; Blog posts 2006-04-30
