nanotechnology

Macquarie University engineers invented a new technique to make the manufacture of nanosensors less carbon-intensive, much cheaper, more efficient, and more versatile. Treating each sensor with a single drop of ethanol replaces…

US-made batteries with Forge Nano's Particle Atomic Layer Deposition (PALD) nanotechnology launched into orbit aboard the SpaceX Transporter-2 mission. Forge Nano’s high-energy, Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries were launched aboard on June…

Ever been called a couch potato? Now you have a comeback: “I’m busy creating energy!” A wearable device turns the touch of a finger into a source of power for small electronics and sensors. Engineers at the UC San Diego developed a thin,…

Scientists at Lancaster University and the University of Oxford have created a nano-electronic circuit which vibrates without any external force. The teams used a tiny suspended wire that resembled a vibrating guitar string to show how a…

Researchers are able to accelerate the development time of nanometer structures by speeding up precursor molecules using a tiny, high-energy supersonic jet of inert gas. The rapid additive manufacturing technique allows them to produce…

Invisible objects have potential military, research, and technology applications, including hiding people, weapons, and troop movements. Other systems developed over the last few decades have all had weaknesses: they were hard to make,…
