Nano Labs Corp. has developed a next-generation nano-coating specifically designed as an anti-insect paint that repels insects and other arthropods, hinders their feeding and reproduction, and reduces their presence and proliferation.
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a general approach for combining different types of nanoparticles to produce large-scale composite materials.
Researchers at Columbia Engineering, led by Chemical Engineering Professors Venkat Venkatasubramanian and Sanat Kumar, have developed a new approach to designing novel nanostructured materials through an inverse design framework using genetic algorithms.
Flexible displays, cost-efficient solar cells for a new era of energy production, futuristic lighting at home all require thin layers with specific properties. Scientists at the INM – Leibniz Institute for New Materials are exploring new routes to such coatings in NanoSPEKT, a project funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
Mordovia State University has opened a laboratory to research and study thin-film technologies (100 nm and less) using atomic layer deposition (ALD) with Beneq’s TFS 200 equipment.
The University of Pennsylvania officially opened the region’s premier facility for advanced research, education and innovative public/private partnerships in nanotechnology on October 4.
Iranian researchers from the Institute for Color Science and Technology have produced a new type of coating that exhibits anticorrosion properties by using zinc oxide nanoparticles.
A group of international experts from government, industry and academia have concluded that alternative testing strategies (ATSs) that don’t rely on animals will be needed to cope with the wave of new nanomaterials emerging from the boom in nanoscience and nanotechnology.
University of Alberta researchers have found that abundant materials in the earth's crust can be used to make inexpensive, easily manufactured nanoparticle-based solar cells.
