Stories about: nanomaterial

Nanomaterials Safety Regulations Needed Nanomaterials are that kind of material made of parts less than one tenth of a micrometer (less than a thousandth of a human hair) in at least one dimension, sporting particular features and characteristics. In the related section of this article, you can check out some of the latest uses of such materials. To put it... 12 November 2008 07:11 GMT Gold Nanorings Made from Nanorods to Achieve Invisibility Tiny gold atomic arrangements called nanorods were found to be able to spontaneously assemble themselves into ring-like superstructures by a team at Rice University. Nanorods have dimensions of billionths of a meter (1,000 times less than a hair width). The nanorings could boost the development of new nanotechnologie... 14 March 2007 07:25 GMT After Glow: The Most Light-Absorbing Material Scientists have created the world's first film that has practically no reflection. This is a breakthrough compared to current nonreflective materials, and the new technology could greatly improve solar cells, empower light-emitting diodes, and boost research in quantum mechanics by imitating a "black body," an o... 2 March 2007 11:37 GMT
