At IBM's Zurich Nanotech Laboratory, Silence Is Key
Inside laboratory No. 2 at IBM’s new nanotechnology research facility, no can hear you scream. Once the heavy door is closed, the laboratory is essentially noise-free, insulated from electromagnetic waves and vibrations that can disrupt sensitive nanotech experiments. The lab is part of a facility due to be completed next spring that IBM will use in partnership with ETH Zurich ... Read More »

Molecular interactions hold key to how nanoparticles behave in cells
Nanoparticles show promise in solving a host of problems, from pinpointing medical diagnoses to developing alternative forms of energy and creating more durable materials. But scientists have yet to determine exactly how these tiny particles interact in their environment, whether inside humans or in the world at large, and if those interactions can be toxic. In a recent study, scientists ... Read More »
