Year of the nanotube: For nearly 25 years now, ever since the discovery of the Carbon-60 "Buckyball" at Rice University, scientists have been trying to find uses for what is now called nanotechnology. Those uses are now coming thick and fast. In November I wrote how carbon nanotubes could be...; Tags: Bayer AG, Nanotube, DARPA, Nanotechnology, Emerging Technologies, Dana Blankenhorn; Blog posts 2008-01-29
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
Nanotech is approaching the human body: Nanotechnology is becoming increasingly practical in the fight against disease, especially cancer. As a proud alumnus of Rice University (class of '77) I get to follow this closely. Since I graduated, Rice has become the leader in this type of chemistry, using a multi-disciplinary approach which brings...; Tags: Rice University, Nanotube, Gold, Nanotechnology, Semiconductors, Emerging Technologies, Hardware, Dana Blankenhorn; Blog posts 2007-09-25
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
A nanosensor to predict asthma attacks: Asthma is a common illness which affects at least 300 million people worldwide and which is responsible for about 200,000 deaths every year. But asthma attacks could be detected up to 3 weeks before they happen by testing regularly the breath of asthmatics. If the levels of nitric oxide increase,...; Tags: Nanotube, Handheld, Sensor, Breath, University Of Pittsburgh, Attack, Asthma, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2007-08-24
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...; Tags: Engineering &, Innovation, Health &, Medicine, Nanotechnology; Blog posts 2007-04-27
