- 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,...

- The world's longest carbon nanotube
- As you probably know, carbon nanotubes have very interesting mechanical, electrical and optical properties. But they are small. Now, researchers at the University of Cincinnati UC have developed a process to build extremely long aligned carbon nanotube arrays. Theyve been able to produce 18-mm-long carbon nanotubes which might be spun...

- 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...

- 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...

- 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;...

- Is Vista ready? Microsoft testers weigh in
- Microsoft officials obviously believe Windows Vista is ready, given that it is set to release it to manufacturing within weeks, if not days. But what do some of its toughest testers think? With millions kicking Windows Vista’s tires, just about anyone and everyone is a Vista tester these days. But...

- 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...

- '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...

- Carbon nanotubes speed up fluids
- According to a University of Kentucky news release, researchers have shown that carbon nanotube CNT membranes with pores measuring 7 nanometers in diameter "permit a fluid flow nearly 10,000 to 100,000 times faster than conventional fluid flow theory would predict because of the nanotubes' nearly friction-free surface." As the fabrication...
