Medicine & TechnologyUnbeknownst to many, consumer products are filled with nanomaterials that are harmful to the health. They are considered the invisible killers that are more dangerous to viruses in the long term if no safety precautions are made.
With the help of nanomaterials, researchers found a way to improve hybrid flow batteries' performance - making the store energy longer at a lower cost, fewer location restraints, and zero emissions.
A research team from the University of Manchester in the UK has overtaken Egyptian linen's finest Egyptian linen for the world's finest woven fabric, recognized by the Guinness World Records.
Rice University engineers created a copper cubes reactor that converts the unwanted waste gas carbon monoxide into industrially useful product acetic acid.
With the increased interest surrounding the design and fabrication of DNA origami nanostructures, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has published a guide for beginners using existing technologies.
A team of chemists from Emory University in Atlanta, US, has invented a shape-shifting peptide nanomaterial that can be triggered controllably - paving the way for potential biomedicine applications.
Carbon spheres - small spherical structures that have found large applications in carbon capture and energy storage - can now be created faster and more sustainably in a novel technique developed by researchers.
Scientists from the University of Leiden in the Netherlands have 3D printed the world's smallest Star Trek spaceship and a boat that acts as microswimmers.
Using nanotechnology and silicon-on-insulator technology, scientists develop a tiny ultrasound detector that can create images of cells and small fragments of tissue. The developers hope the technology can also be expanded outside medical applications such as industrial uses.
The new technology uses the porous property of fired red bricks by filling them with tiny nanofibres of a conducting plastic that stores electric charge.
