Visions of self-replicating nanomachines that could devour the Earth in a "grey goo" are probably wide of the mark, but "radical nanotechnology" could still deliver great benefits to society. The ...

The prefix of nanoscience and nanotechnology derives from the unit of length, the nanometer, and in their broadest definitions these terms refer to the science and technology that derives from being ...

Today, a life without nanotechnology is hard to imagine. Nanotechnologies – to be more specific: nanomaterials – are already used in numerous products and industrial applications. Our Nanotechnology ...

Nanoscale science, engineering, and technology, often referred to simply as "nanotechnology," is the understanding, characterization, and control of matter at the scale of nanometers, the dimension of ...

a, diagrams for the three main ultrafast tip-based microscopy techniques discussed in the review. b, exploration of physical processes through the techniques described above, sorted on the basis of ...

Nanotechnology is an emerging transformational technology that promises wide and dual-use applica­tions in many fields, particularly national security. The United States is the world's acknowledged ...

Worries in the science community about a public backlash against nanotechnology have been growing in recent months. Currently, public fears range from the reasonable, such as the unknown effects of ...

A new twist on a very old physics technique could have a profound impact on one of the most buzzed-about aspects of nanoscience. Researchers at the University of Cincinnati have found that their ...

Our focused effort is to understand organization of nano-structured materials & nano-scale phenomena (such as interactions between nanoparticles) with the goal of finding novel approaches for optical ...

Nanotechnology is being used in the energy sector to develop new and improved energy technologies, such as more efficient solar cells, better batteries, and more durable fuel cells. Some examples: ...
