The widespread use of nano-silver particles in household items such as toothbrushes, socks and shoe inserts is contributing to the growth of superbugs, according to a Friends of the Earth report released…
The smallest electric motor ever made has been developed. The motor, made from a single molecule, is a tiny billionth of…
It inspired the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics. It’s the best thermal conductor we know of. It’s a crystal stiffer than diamond, but able to stretch by 20% of its length, and can carry a current density one…
Surprisingly, a single atom of gold is actually stronger than a many-atom piece of gold. The strength of gold has been found…
That tangled collection of chargers could one day be obsolete, as Australian researchers report a breakthrough that brings us closer to a world where gadgets are recharged every time you press them. Scientists…
Scientists have developed tiny particles capable of taking large doses of anti-cancer drugs right to a tumour’s doorstep, opening the way to a new generation of more effective treatments. Nanotechnology…
As you read this, researchers around the world are slaving away furiously to develop stronger, smaller and more cost-effective materials for a range of potential uses. But while there are many “nano-scale…
A quantum atom has been tracked inside a living human cell for the first time, potentially opening the door to advanced methods…
A flexible new solar sheet has been shown to capture more than 90% of available sunlight. Existing solar panels operate at…
A couple of facts: 1) At least 10% of the world’s population are “needle phobic”, which means they’re missing out on being vaccinated and/or have a horror of receiving jabs of any kind. Several studies…
For the public, the jury is still out on nanotechnology – the media simultaneously extols its promise and warns of the potential calamity facing humanity. But what is it? How does it work? Is it dangerous…
