A new wrinkle in thin film science
Simple, inexpensive way to measure material properties could impact cosmetics, coating and nanoelectronic industries
09-Aug-2007
A remarkably simple experiment devised by scientists yields important information about the mechanical properties of thin films - nanoscopically thin layers of material that are deposited onto a metal, ceramic or semiconductor base. The research results, funded by the National Science Foundation ...
The longest carbon nanotubes you've ever seen
Crafted with breakthrough manufacturing technique, centimeter-long fibers are visible to the naked eye
14-May-2007
Using techniques that could revolutionize manufacturing for certain materials, researchers have grown carbon nanotubes that are the longest in the world. While still slightly less than 2 centimeters long, each nanotube is 900,000 times longer than its diameter. The fibers - which have the ...
Researchers Create New Organic Gel Nanomaterials
11-Jul-2006
Researchers have created organic gel nanomaterials that could be used to encapsulate pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic products and to build 3-D biological scaffolds for tissue engineering. Using olive oil and six other liquid solvents, the scientists added a simple enzyme to chemically activate ...
Carbon nanotubes made to stick like a gecko's foot
17-Aug-2005
Renowned for their ability to walk up walls like miniature Spider-Men--or even to hang from the ceiling by one toe--the colorful lizards of the gecko family owe their wall-crawling prowess to their remarkable footpads. Each five-toed foot is covered with microscopic elastic hairs called setae, ...
