- Moore's Law and health care
- Roland Piquepaille's latest take on nanobots in the bloodstream has me reflecting on the greatest force we have available for surviving health care inflation. Moore's Law. Moore's Law, the idea that technology gets faster-and-faster faster-and-faster, is not applied often enough to health care. Regulation...

- Taking STM images 100 times faster
- Very few of you have used a scanning tunneling microscope STM, an essential tool to study nanoscience. And you might think that it's as easy to take a picture of an atom with an STM as it is to take a shot with your digital camera. In fact, the imaging...

- Nanomagnetic sponges to clean artwork?
- About a year ago, I told you that Italian scientists had developed the nanoscience of art restoration. Now, the same team from Florence has found a very innovative and gentle way 'for cleaning and conserving priceless oil paintings, marble sculptures and other works of art,' according to the American Chemical...

- Will nanogenerators replace batteries?
- Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have built prototypes of a nanogenerator providing continuous electrical power by "harvesting mechanical energy from such environmental sources as ultrasonic waves, mechanical vibration or blood flow." According to the scientists, the prototype could produce as much as 4 watts per cubic centimeter. This...

- Teaching nanoscience to the blind
- Nanoscale objects are much too small for us to see them. So, according to educators at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, nanotechnology is a research field where blind students and sighted ones are equal. After all, "were all blind at the nanoscale," says a member of the educational team. Theyve built...

- A 2-nanometer-high Solomon's knot
- UCLA chemists have built a molecular Solomons knot at the nanoscale. The Solomons knot is composed of two rings that interlace each other four times, with alternating crossing points that go over, under, over and under as one traces around each of the rings. This nano-version is roughly 2 nanometers...

- 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...

- The nanoscience of art restoration
- In a very informative article, Nanowerk Spotlight reports that nanotechnology is now being used to save Renaissance masterpieces. Italian researchers have successfully used nanoparticles of calcium and magnesium hydroxide and carbonate to restore ancient artworks, such as Maya paintings in the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico or Italian wall paintings and...

- A traffic control system for molecules
- Our cells contain small protein factories which have to deliver materials inside the cell via a network of microtubules. And the transportation is carried out by biomolecular motors. Now, researchers from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands have built a traffic control system able to force individual molecules to...

- '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...
