Heinrich Rohrer, who shared the 1986 Nobel Prize in Physics for inventing a microscope that made it possible to see individual atoms and move them around, an achievement that led to vastly faster computing and greatly advanced molecular biology, died May 16 in Wollerau, Switzerland.

UCD researchers led by Conway Fellow, Professor David Brayden in UCD School of Veterinary Medicine have successfully reduced inflammation in the swollen arthritic knees of a murine model using a novel nanoparticle.

Think the super slo-mo on ESPN is good? The London Center for Nanotechnology has filmed a nanometer-sized gold crystal at a billion frames per second , capturing the movement of electrons like never before.

Dublin - Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Atomic Layer Deposition Market 2012-2016" report to their offering.

With new discoveries in the scientific field happening every day, research collaborations that bring science, engineering and technology together with the arts are currently being facilitated on UCSB's campus.

BRUSSELS, Belgium - The European Commission has launched a campaign of public investment in micro- and nanoelectronics with the aim of doubling chip production on the continent to around 20 percent of global production.

Atotech has signed agreements with Case Western Reserve University to enhance development of the company's global metallization technology, and support its material science and application failure analysis activities in Europe, Asia and the United States.

An increasing number of hazardous waste disposal sites are using nanotechnology and nanomaterials in their environmental remediation efforts, leaving open questions about the safety of such techniques.

Glow-in-the-dark stars on a child's bedroom ceiling may not have the same appeal for scientists as nanotechnology, but they do provide a good comparison point for Jill Millstone, assistant professor of chemistry at Pittsburg University, and the new nanoscale alloy that her team has developed.

The European Union is pledging 5 billion euros to boost research on semiconductors and other electronics items used in everything from smartphones to cars, in a bid to boost the sector which is lagging U.S. and Asian rivals.

Growing thin films out of nanoparticles in ordered, crystalline sheets, to make anything from microelectronic components to solar cells, would be a boon for materials researchers, but the physics is tricky because particles of that size don't form crystals the way individual atoms do.

Positively charged gold nanoparticles are usually toxic to cells, but cancer cells somehow manage to avoid nanoparticle toxicity.

KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has on a number of occasions offered accurate information about Apple's product plans, issued a new research report this week outlining his expectations for Apple's rumored smart watch device, informally dubbed "iWatch". Despite some expectations that the device could launch later this year, Kuo believes ... (more)

The structural features of polystyrene brushes grafted on spherical silica nanoparticles immersed in polystyrene are investigated by means of a Monte Carlo methodology based on polymer mean field theory.

The vaccine concept, which was developed by scientists at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases , represents an important step forward in the quest to develop a universal influenza vaccine -- one that would protect against most or all influenza strains without the need for an annual vaccination.
