To study bio-molecular structure at University of Maryland, National science Foundation has granted a fund of $1.9 million to the University. The fund will be utilized in acquiring superconducting 800 MHz Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometer, which will be highest field NMR spectrometer installed at the College Park campus of the University of Maryland.
The facility [...]

Stanford researchers have developed a water-purifying filter that makes the process more than 80,000 times faster than existing filters. The key is coating the filter fabric — ordinary cotton — with nanotubes and silver nanowires, then electrifying it. The filter uses very little power, has no moving parts and could be used throughout the [...]

Professor Steven Suib, Chemistry Department, UConn has recently come out with a novel method that could be useful for energy conservation. The nano-size crystalline material could be used a s a catalyst in alternate fuel development. 
The cover story on the basic science research will be published in the September issue of the journal “Small” a [...]

United States Department of Energy (DOE) has approved seven phase II awards to wholly owned subsidiary of Dynasil Corporation of America, Radiation Monitoring Devices (RMD), Inc. Radiation Monitoring Devices is one of the leader in the area of radiation detector material and related instrumentation. The awards for seven projects range from $750,000 to $1,000,000 each [...]

Two research teams from London South bank University (LSBU) have received £ 1.5 million funds from European Union for developing innovative technology and clean energy nanotechnology research. The research projects will enhance the efficiency and will simultaneously reduce the overall environmental impact. 
The first project is about improving the cold storage equipments in Europe (ICE-E) and [...]

A new device as described in the journal Science, has been developed by the scientists and engineers at the Harvard University. The new device is a V-shaped transistor made up off nanowire that is even smaller than many viruses can suitably be used for sensitive probing inside the cell. At present much bulkier probes, which [...]

SouthWest Nano Technologies Inc is one of the leading manufacturers of specialty multi-wall and single wall carbon nanotubes and its specialty multi-wall carbon nanotubes are being used by nanoRidge Material Inc. for defense applications. The body armor manufactured by NanoRidge will use South West Nano Technologies SMW100 for improving the protection to the soldiers. 
The new [...]

Nanoscale simulations and theoretical research performed at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory are bringing scientists closer to realizing graphene’s potential in electronic applications.

Looking at individual molecules through a microscope is part of nanotechnologists’ everyday lives. However, it has so far been difficult to observe atomic structures inside organic molecules. In the renowned scientific journal Physical Review Letters, Juelich researchers explain their novel method, which enables them to take an “X-ray view” inside molecules. The method may facilitate [...]
