By combining two materials - transparent conductive indium tin oxide and rubber-like silicone - researchers have found a…
As a virologist working in the Gambia, the idea of a portable microscope that uses fluorescent imaging and can be attached to your smartphone to detect viruses and bacteria in the field sounds amazing…
Researchers have developed a nanostructured material that beads water, mimicking the surface of a rose petal. Nanoparticles…
While scientists develop new drugs to treat a multitude of conditions, nanotechnology is pushing the boundaries of how we deliver them to patients - targeting delivery to cancer cells and giving a drug…
When scientists look for keys to unlock problems such as quantum teleportation or faster internet speeds, answers can sometimes be found in the natural world. Controlling light at the nanoscale is necessary…
Cheaper and less toxic solar cells for solar panels are at the core of a collaborative research project conducted by RMIT…
Gold is one of our most valuable commodities but its use extends far beyond jewellery and gold bars. It’s a conductive material and is helping us to develop new medical innovations such as specialised…
Students at the University of York are challenging what they see as the closed worlds of nanotechnology and healthcare by crowdsourcing funds to produce a new type of treatment for cancer using magnetic…
Researchers at the University of Adelaide have developed a new nanomaterial that could reduce the carbon footprint of coal-fired…
Researchers from Vanderbilt University have discovered a new method of vaccination where tiny gold particles target immune…
We live in a world where digital information is exploding. Some 90% of the world’s data was generated in the past two years. The obvious question is: how can we store it all? In Nature Communications today…
Researchers have pioneered the use of a nanoneedle to explore the cell structure of our top layer of skin. The needle probes…
We’re all too familiar with footage of ruptured tankers or busted rigs dumping millions of litres of oil into the sea, coating shorelines and animals in crude sludge. Many traditional methods of cleaning…
Coating liquid metal droplets in a nanoparticle mix creates an extra strong non-stick conductive material that retains its shape even under high impact, Australian research has found. The breakthrough…
The sunny season has well and truly started, as has the daily summer ritual of applying sunscreen. So now is the perfect time to consider whether “nano sunscreens”, which contain UV filtering nanoparticles…
A new solar energy technology has been developed that uses nanoparticles to convert sunlight directly into steam. The “solar…
Just on a year ago my colleagues and I announced our discovery that carbon nanotube yarns could be made to twist and rotate at great speeds when electrically stimulated. In this way we had created “artificial…
When two gold nanoparticle spheres are pushed sufficiently close together, the gap between them acquires a red colour, as…
Diamond is well known for its appeal as a gemstone. Perhaps less well known are some of its extreme material properties. As well as being the hardest material in nature, diamond is very good at conducting…
