Pantry Ingredients Can Help Grow Carbon Nanotubes

Sodium-containing compounds are surprisingly effective ingredients for cooking up carbon nanotubes Table salt, detergent, and baking soda are effective ingredients for creating carbon nanotubes, researchers at MIT have found out.

Bending the Norm on Nanowires

New methods of arranging silver nanowires make them more durable, shows a study by KAUST. Nanowires form transparent and flexible conductive layers that can be used for improved stain sensors, solar cells and next-generation mobile phones.

The Government Is Serious About Creating Mind-Controlled Weapons

Thought-controlled weapons are in the works. The Department of Defense's research unit, the DARPA, is paying scientists to invent and discover ways to read the minds of the soldiers using tools like genetic engineering of the human brain, infrared beams and nanotechnology.

How Plant Viruses Can Be Used to Ward Off Pests And Keep Plants Healthy

A biological nanoparticle that could target pesticides to treat specific spots deep within the soil Researchers at the University of California San Diego and Case Western Reserve University have developed a technology that could target pesticides to treat spots within the soil.

'Spidey Senses' Could Help Autonomous Machines Avoid Accidents

What if drones and self-driving cars had the tingling "spidey senses" of Spider-Man? Andres Arrieta, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Purdue University says drones and self-driving cars might actually detect and avoid objects better if they would process sensory information faster.

Nanocubes Follow Nanoscale Sculpturing

Scientists discover the principles of the arrangement of nanocubes Collaborators from the U. S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and Columbia Engineering have discovered that single-stranded DNA chain-coated nanocubes or cube-shaped nanoparticles arrange in a zigzag pattern.

New Dielectric Material Acts as Effective Heat Sink in Electronics

Scientists discover how to create an effective heat sink for dielectrics Scientists from the Rice University's Brown School of Engineering invented a nanocomposite that has great potential as a superior high-temperature dielectric material for energy storage, electric devices, and flexible electronics.

First - Ever Smallest Pixels Invented

The smallest pixels yet created—a million times smaller than those in smartphones, made by trapping particles of light under tiny rocks of gold—could be used for new types of large-scale flexible displays, big enough to cover entire buildings.
