Hospitals are already so ridiculously overpriced that I'm surprised I'm even surprised about this but according to a new father, a hospital in Boston quoted him $23,000 for a circumcision procedure for his son. More »
The single upside to Steve Jobs' resignation is the outpouring of amazing stories from people who've encountered the man personally. Here's some of the best from around the web. More »
What the lights go out, don't be screwed. You think that little drugstore flashlight is good enough? Give it an hour until it flickers dead and leaves you blind. The Solarforce M6, though—that's your pint-sized lifeline. More »
A delicate balance of atomic forces can be exploited to make nanoparticle superclusters that are uniform in size - an attribute that's important for many nanotechnology applications but hard to accomplish, University of Michigan researchers say.
With the new Leica SR GSD from Leica Microsystems, scientists can now achieve resolutions far below the limit of diffraction that have never been attained before in widefield fluorescence microscopy. The system is capable of resolving details as small as 20 nanometers.
CEA-Leti announced today that the 2nd Maskless Lithography IMAGINE Workshop will be held Sept. 6 at the Keio Plaza Hotel in Tokyo.
he theme of the symposium is "Green Tribology" which emphasizes the importance of tribology on energy saving and emission reduction.
The Danish Environmental Protection Agency (DEPA) has initiated the study "Survey on basic knowledge about exposure and potential environmental and health risks for selected nanomaterials". The objective of the study is to provide an overview of the applications of the most commonly used or widespread nanomaterials and to identify areas most likely to have health or environmental problems associated with their use.
Nanosurf, a leading provider of atomic force microscopes (AFM) and scanning tunneling microscopes (STM), and Suzhou Haizisi Nano Technology Co. Ltd., a high-tech company specialized in system solutions for nanodetection, nanofabrication and nanometrology, today announced the founding of a Sino-foreign Joint Venture, Hzs-Nanosurf, which after a preparation period of several months received its Chinese business license in the first half of August, 2011.
Eden Energy Limited through its wholly-owned US, Colorado-based subsidiary, Hythane Company LL, in its specially developed production laboratory in Denver has in 2011 made major breakthroughs in the time and costs associated with the production processes used in the manufacture from natural gas of both hydrogen and super-strong, superlight, and highly conductive nano-carbon products.
The factory in Vladimir will produce membranes and membrane separating modules for industrial and domestic water purification systems.
The Center of Innovation for Nanobiotechnology (COIN) will host post-conference delegation tours for registered COMS (Commercialization of Micro-Nano Systems conference) international attendees on September 1, 2011. These tours will showcase some of North Carolina's finest technology-related talent, companies, institutions and programs.
Australians are increasingly positive about nanotechnology, in particular its potential to improve our lives, according to a new study.
Scientists entangle ions using microwaves.
Previously, synthetic molecular machines have been used to perform mechanical tasks collectively, such as move liquid droplets uphill against the force of gravity, rotate microscale objects using liquid crystals doped with synthetic motor-molecules, and bend cantilevers. However, all these tasks are achieved by the collective action of billions and billions of molecular machines. Observing the mechanical behavior of an individual molecule is much more difficult. Synthetic molecular machines are often ten times smaller in each dimension than motor proteins and previously no one has managed to use single molecule techniques to look at how the components move in synthetic molecular machines. By using very sensitive atomic force microscopy experiments, researchers now were able to address the movement of the ring in individual rotaxane molecules.
A new imaging method called spatial light interference microscopy (SLIM) can measure cell mass using two beams of light.
