Traceability in the textile supply chain, water management, the responsible use of chemicals and the emerging field of nanotechnology are among issues that will be tackled at the fifth annual RITE Group conference on sustainable textiles taking place in London next month. The theme this year is ‘Will supply chain transparency end greenwash?’ with the event focusing on the collection ... Read More »

Nanotechnology has a somewhat infamous relationship with flash memory. It has usually taken on the role as its adversary, such as in the case of Nantero or IBM’s Millipede project, and walked away with less than encouraging results. So I was interested to see that researchers were using graphene as a platform for flash memory that appears to outperform other flash ... Read More »

Alexandru Biris, director and chief scientist of the Nanotechnology Center at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, has been awarded the university’s first Sturgis Charitable Trust Nanotechnology Chair. A $1 million endowment to UALR from the Roy and Christine Sturgis Charitable Trust led to the investiture of Biris, associate professor of systems engineering. As director of the UALR Nanotechnology ... Read More »

Supramolecular chemistry is a well-established discipline that, after originating as a relatively monolithic topic in chemistry and being acknowledged with the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1987, has significantly branched out in the last 15 years in various directions at the interface with physics, biology, and engineering as a rational solution to generate complex systems and materials with programmable properties. ...
