Visions of self-replicating nanomachines that could devour the Earth in a "grey goo" are probably wide of the mark, but "radical nanotechnology" could still deliver great benefits to society. The ...

In July 2020, Promethean Particles won an Institute of Physics Business Innovation Award for solving a key fluid-mechanics problem enabling the use of supercritical fluids for the large-scale ...

In this free-to-read Physics World Nanotechnology Briefing we showcase the breadth of applications of modern nanotechnology. We talk to researchers developing nanoparticles designed to cross the blood ...

The prefix of nanoscience and nanotechnology derives from the unit of length, the nanometer, and in their broadest definitions these terms refer to the science and technology that derives from being ...

a, diagrams for the three main ultrafast tip-based microscopy techniques discussed in the review. b, exploration of physical processes through the techniques described above, sorted on the basis of ...

Our focused effort is to understand organization of nano-structured materials & nano-scale phenomena (such as interactions between nanoparticles) with the goal of finding novel approaches for optical ...

The nanoscale world operates under different principles than the macroscopic one. Although natural nanostructures have been used indirectly for centuries, the tools and knowledge to intentionally ...

NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. has announced the hiring of James Leybourn and Simon Boddington as Senior Nuclear Engineers to enhance the development of its microreactor technologies. Both engineers, based ...
