Tag: nanoparticlesThin-Film Solar with High Efficiency Solexant is printing inorganic solar cells with nanomaterials. Nanoparticle inks that fade away in hours could be ideal for secure communications. A Metal Coating That Repairs Itself Electroplated metal could be used to make self-healing construction materials, car parts, and machinery. An ultrasensitive test can spot bacteria in a half hour. Stretchable electronics and the strongest material ever were just two achievements of 2008. Researchers have made new nano building blocks for optical computing and solar-cell coatings. Nanoparticles of a Different Stripe A new material can break through a cell membrane without killing the cell. New composites could lead to better food packaging, and to lighter car and airplane parts. Programming Advanced Materials Researchers create three-dimensional structures using DNA-directed assembly. MIT researchers have invented a microfluidic way to efficiently make particles with exquisite internal structure. A unique printing method could lead to precise nanofabrication. Carbon nanotubes could help make nanoparticle-based solar cells more efficient and practical. New publications, experiments and breakthroughs in nanotechnology--and what they mean. Researchers aim to cut carbon-dioxide emissions by shedding light on the nanostructure of cement. Ultra-Tough Nanotech Materials Polymers made using clay nanoparticles could lead to fuel-saving car parts and to lightweight fabrics much more resistant to tear. |
