European researchers identify materials at the nanoscale

Spanish and German researchers have made a new instrumental development that solves a key materials science and nanotechnology question: how to chemically identify materials at the nanometre scale. One of modern chemistry and materials science’s main goals is to achieve the non-invasive chemical mapping of materials with nanometre-scale resolution. Although a variety of high-resolution imaging techniques currently exist, such as ... Read More »

Nanotechnology in Functional Foods

  Introduction Many biological structures and systems have nanoscale features which affect their properties and behaviour. As our understanding of synthetic nanotechnology increases, we are beginning to see more and more clearly how these relationships between size, shape, and functionality work in biological systems. As we understand more and more about biological processes, it seems likely that some of the ... Read More »
