Madison, WISCONSIN — Online audiences are increasingly searching for and finding results on health-related topics when seeking nanotechnology content on Google, according to a recent study by…
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Professor Shan-Yu Lin has developed a new nanotechnology-based “microlens” that uses gold to boost the strength of infrared imaging and could lead to a new generation of ultra-powerful satellite cameras and night-vision devices. The device, pictured, leverages the unique properties of nanoscale gold to “squeeze” light into the tiny holes in its surface. (Credit: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute)

The latest installment in DNA nanotechnology has arrived: A molecular nanorobot dubbed a "spider" and labeled with green dyes traverses a substrate track built upon a DNA origami scaffold. It journeys towards its red-labeled goal by cleaving the visited substrates, thus exhibiting the characteristics of an autonomously moving, behavior-based robot at the molecular scale.

Rice researchers spin pure batches of nanotubes species
Houston, TEXAS — In two new papers, Rice University researchers report using ultracentrifugation (UCF) to create highly purified samples of…
Tempe, ARIZONA — Nanotechnology involves manipulating the unimaginably small. A nanometer is about 5 carbon atoms in a row, or the distance your fingernail grows in one second. Matter behaves…
Vancouver, CANADA — University of British Columbia (UBC) researchers have cast artificial proteins into a new solid biomaterial that very closely mimics the passive elasticity of muscle.
The approach…
Bronx, NEW YORK — Radiation therapy is often used to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors, but the amount of radiation must be limited due to its negative side-effects — one of them being the…
Raleigh, NORTH CAROLINA — A new national survey on public attitudes toward medical applications and physical enhancements that rely on nanotechnology shows that support for the technology increases…
Cris Orfescu combines his art and science backgrounds to create NanoArt. Click here to view some of his work
He may be creating art from small things, but Cris Orfescu is no stranger to the art world. Working from real images of structures that he creates at molecular and atomic scale, Orfescu has for the…
