Graphene: Supermaterial goes superpermeableGraphene is one of the wonders of the science world, with the potential to create foldaway mobile phones, wallpaper-thin lighting panels and the next generation of aircraft. |
System to deliver organ transplant drug -- without harmful side effectsA new system for delivering a drug to organ transplant patients, which could avoid the risk of harmful side effects, is being developed by scientists at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. |
Strategic research plan needed to help avoid potential risks of nanomaterialsDespite extensive investment in nanotechnology and increasing commercialization over the last decade, insufficient understanding remains about the environmental, health, and safety aspects of nanom |
Under the electron microscope -- A 3-D image of an individual protein(PhysOrg.com) -- When Gang Ren whirls the controls of his cryo-electron microscope, he compares it to fine-tuning the gearshift and brakes of a racing bicycle. But this machine at the U.S. |
Bilayer graphene works as an insulatorA research team led by physicists at the University of California, Riverside has identified a property of "bilayer graphene" (BLG) that the researchers say is analogous to finding the Higgs boson i |

Graphene: Impressive capabilities on the horizonThe Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), along with other funding agencies, helped a Rice University research team make graphene suitable for a variety of organic chemistry applications |
Researchers devise new means for creating elastic conductorsResearchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new method for creating elastic conductors made of carbon nanotubes, which will contribute to large-scale production of the materia |
Blunt nanostructures could make high-efficiency solar cells easier to fabricate(PhysOrg.com) -- One of the most promising methods for increasing the efficiency of solar cells consists of coating the cells surfaces with a thin layer of metal nanoparticles. |
Weaving electronics into the fabric of our physical world(PhysOrg.com) -- The integration of electronics with materials opens up a world of possibilities, the surface of which is just being scratched. |
Graphene enhances many materials, but leaves them wettableGraphene is the thinnest material known to science. The nanomaterial is so thin, in fact, water often doesn't even know it's there. |
Biochip measures glucose in saliva, not bloodFor the 26 million Americans with diabetes, drawing blood is the most prevalent way to check glucose levels. It is invasive and at least minimally painful. |
