• Maize and milk proteins can replace fossil fuels and metals in the production of nanostructured surfaces
  

  New research results from Linnaeus University opens for a future with more sustainably produced nanotechnology, where limited natural resources can be replaced with, among other things, maize and milk proteins. Nanotechnology can be found almost everywhere in our daily lives, although it is nearly i more

• Chemists use DNA to build the world’s tiniest antenna
  

  Researchers at Université de Montréal have created a nanoantenna to monitor the motions of proteins. Reported this week in Nature Methods, the device is a new method to monitor the structural change of proteins over time – and may go a long way to helping scientists better understand natural and hum more

• Nano Dominoes with Molecules
  

  Three years ago, a group of physicists from Jülich successfully manipulated a single flat molecule into an upright, standing position. Their findings were published at the time in Nature. After months of experiments, they have now managed to knock the molecule back down again. The insights gained in more
