Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

Nanotechnology Didn’t Shrink and Disappear; In Fact, It’s Everywhere Nanotechology, which involves controlling matter at the molecular and atomic levels, was a much-hyped investment theme a decade ago. It’s since become widely used in commercial products ranging from solar panels to semiconductors, but investing in nanotech requires patience. By Nick Rockel Remember when nanotechnology was the next big thing? A ... Read More »

Carbon nanotechnology – stronger than Kevlar, light as a tee-shirt, and cheap all over (Nanowerk News) Forty years ago, Dupont Company revolutionized protective gear when they introduced Kevlar, a fiber made of super-strong, rigid polymer molecules belonging to a small class called aramids. Since then, improvements to strong textile fibers have been incremental. That’s because most flexible polymers are inherently ... Read More »

In a Federal Register notice on Sept. 22, the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH) announced plans for a new exposure assessment and epidemiological study of U.S. workers that are exposed to carbon nanotubes and nanofibers. The agencies are taking public comment on the study through November. According to ... Read More »

Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, have come up a with a new and simple way to control the optical properties of buried indium arsenide (InAs) quantum dots by inserting gallium arsenide antimonide (GaAs(Sb)) cladding layers above and below the dots. The technique allows both the shape and size of the dots to be controlled as well as ... Read More »
