Packaging now capable of displaying a digital screen

Electronic displays can now be printed on to any traditional printing surface with relative ease. Thanks to Ntera birthday cards, event tickets, wrapping, packaging and standard paper is now capable of displaying a digital screen. The advancements is due to the improvements made in  nanotechnology which now allow digital screens to be printed at a low cost with minimum power ... Read More »

A new robot which is no larger than a single molecule

Researchers have developed a new robot which is no larger than a single molecule. It is programmed to independently run along a nano-scale track, a development which its creators claim could one day lead to similar robots being able to mend damaged cells and build nanotechnology products. The team which created the robots was lead by Milan N. Stojanovic, a ... Read More »

Nanoflowers

These bouquets, petals, and trees are actually tiny bundles of wires that have been created in the laboratory. Each flower is several microns long, which is several billionths of a meter. The wires are made of a material called silicon carbide, and researchers hope to use these wires to develop the next generation of electronic devices. Scientists “grew” the flowers ... Read More »

Nanotechnology just what the doctor orderered

What if you were terminally ill and your doctor informed you that the venom from a snail could save your life? What if the technology was available to produce a non-addictive painkiller that was thousands of times more potent than any morphine based product available today? What if nanotechnology could provide the method of administering these potentially life-saving, pain elimination ... Read More »

Stem cells stimulate regeneration of vascular tissue to allow for optimised integration of textile implants BOENNIGHEIM (hm) The capacity of a textile implant to be tolerated by the body – known as biotolerance – plays an important role in regenerative medicine. Nevertheless, the body does not always tolerate textile implants. Even modern implants made of resorbable biopolymers, such as polylactic ... Read More »
