For the first time, atomic force microscopy helps scientists reveal the exact chemical structure of a natural compound
In a pioneering research project, for the first time, scientists at IBM and the University of Aberdeen have collaborated to 'see' the structure of a marine compound from the deepest place on the Earth using an atomic force microscope (AFM). The results of the project open up new possibilities in biological research which could lead to the faster development of new medicines in the future.
Silicon can be made to melt in reverse
Researchers have found that silicon, the most widely used material for computer chips and solar cells, can exhibit this strange property of 'retrograde melting' when it contains high concentrations of certain metals dissolved in it.
BMBF stellt 2,5 Millionen Euro zur Risikobewertung von eingeatmeten Kohlenstoff-Nanopartikeln bereit
BMBF foerdert Marburger Verbundprojekt zur Nanoforschung an der Klinik fuer Pneumologie.
New solar energy conversion process could revamp solar power production
A new process that simultaneously combines the light and heat of solar radiation to generate electricity could offer more than double the efficiency of existing solar cell technology. The process, called 'photon enhanced thermionic emission', or PETE, could reduce the costs of solar energy production enough for it to compete with oil as an energy source.
Novel bee venom derivative forms a nanoparticle ‘smart bomb’ to target cancer cells
New research shows that a peptide derived from bee venom can deliver liposomes bearing drugs or diagnostic dyes to specific cells or tissues.

NanoKTN and Institute of Nanotechnology Launch International NanoMicroClub to Encourage Global Investment in UK SMEs
The NanoKTN and the Institute of Nanotechnology (IoN), a professional membership organisation for the nanotechnology industry, has announced its collaboration that with the support of Technology Strategy Board funding, will encourage and support UK nanotechnology SMEs in international business development.
New catalyst of platinum nanoparticles could lead to conk-out free, stable fuel cells
In the quest for efficient, cost-effective and commercially viable fuel cells, scientists at Cornell University's Energy Materials Center have discovered a catalyst and catalyst-support combination that could make fuel cells more stable, conk-out free, inexpensive and more resistant to carbon monoxide poisoning.
Researchers find universal law for material evolution
It's a problem that materials scientists have considered for years: how does a material composed of more than one phase evolve when heated to a temperature that will allow atoms to move?
The (nano)grass is greener: Porous silicon nanoneedles for your health
A newly discovered nanomaterial could improve healthcare devices by increasing energy storage, help realize implantable microchips or make better drugs.
