- Carbon nanotubes: Great for agriculture, but for humans?
- In what can eventually kick up a firestorm similar to the genetically modified food controversy, the emerging field of "nano-agriculture" is making headlines. It involves the use of nano-particles â€" wisps 1/50,000th the width of a human hair â€" in agriculture and could have beneficial affects for crops, say...

- IBM scientists create DNA computer chip
- IBM scientists and a collaborator from the California Institute of Technology have created a computer chip utilizing synthesized DNA molecules. The approach could pave the way to create tiny circuits that could form the basis of smaller, more powerful computer chips. The DNA acts as scaffolding where...

- Billion-year ultra-dense memory chip developed
- There's always been an inverse relationship between density and durability when it comes to data storage. Today's silicon memory chips contain a lot of density, but with a lifespan of just a few decades, they lack durability. Yet primitive forms of storage such as information carved in stone are highly...

- Nanowires, nanoribbons and 'graphane' among materials that'll revolutionize computers
- Architects of the next generation of computers are developing a variety of nanostructures to meet the demand for increasingly smaller features for semiconductors, microprocessors, and other components. These tiny building blocks are quite extraordinary-some even self-assemble. And they'll help overcome many of the limitations of today's microelectronics...

- Small matters bringing huge change?Hmm... take a mild greenhouse gas and add waterto get a more potent greenhouse gas. Which when combined with the O2 gives you exactly what you started with, plus a bit of energy. It's a solar battery essentially.So you're not going to clean the environment like...

- Nanotechnology-based flexible actuators
- In 'Nanotube paper flexes on demand,' nanotechweb.org reports that French researchers are using multiwalled carbon nanotubes MWCNTs reinforced with polyvinyl alcohol PVA to develop ultra-lightweight actuators for aerospace applications. The scientists have developed a paper-like sheet which bends when the material is electrically stimulated. As said one of the lead...

- Nanoparticles used to trap oil drops
- Rice University researchers have found a new way to spontaneously assemble nanoparticles into bag-like sacs. Their 'nanobatons' could be used to clean up oil spills by trapping oil droplets in polluted waters. These nanoparticles could even be more useful for delivering drugs. The researchers found that 'ultraviolet light and magnetic...

- Nanorobots to improve health care
- Using nanorobots to deliver drugs and fight diseases is not a new idea check here or there. Of course, nanorobots floating inside our bodies to improve our health are still years away. However, an international team of American and Australian researchers is developing a nanorobot hardware architecture for medical defense...
