Nanotechnology: Extending Battery Life

TECH & INNOVATION Nanotechnology provides more time between charges. Low battery indications are probably the most annoying aspect in today's gadget-driven world. The use of nanotechnology could possibly lessen the immediate stress of temporarily being cut off from the cyber universe that has become such an intricate part of our daily routine or even give battery driven cars an increase in mileage.

Vitamin C can help gold nanowires grow

Scientists discover a method to turn stubby gold nanorods into gold nanowires of impressive length. It could be valuable for sensing, diagnostic, imaging and therapeutic applications.

Electronic tattoos can be made through graphene and silk

Researchers in China have demonstrated a self-healing electronic tattoo that shows high sensitivity to multiple stimuli, including humidity, strain, and temperature based on a unique graphene and silk fibroin combination.

NanoNeedle: A way to modify plant genes

Scientists discover a way to modify plant genes through a nano-needle University of California-Berkeley scientists found a way to modify plant genes through a nano-needle.

Gene therapy: utilizing nanotechnology in fighting against Chlamydia

Scientists in Canada have developed a new method for preventing and treating chlamydia. Chlamydia, caused by Chlamydia trachomatis, is a common sexually transmitted disease that can infect women with cervicitis and in both men and women with urethritis and proctitis. The team of researchers from the University of Waterloo treats chlamydia through gene therapy using nanotechnology.

NSF awards Indiana University $4 million to advance medical nanotechnology

Only a year after establishing the intelligent systems engineering program in the Indiana University School of Informatics, Computing and Engineering, the university has been awarded a five-year, $4 million grant from the National Science Foundation to advance nanoscale devices to improve human health, including fighting cancer.

Self-assembling nanomaterial offers pathway to more efficient, affordable harnessing of solar power

New nanomaterials developed by researchers at the Advanced Science Research Center (ASRC) at The Graduate Center of The City University of New York (CUNY) could provide a pathway to more efficient and potentially affordable harvesting of solar energy. Early research suggests these materials could create more usable charges and increase the theoretical efficiency of solar cells up to 44 percent.
