We all know that emission levels around the world are rising and it is disturbing the ecological balance around the world. Though efforts are being made to control it but they don't seem enough.
Now some researchers at MIT are focusing their study...
You all must be aware about Venus flytraps and how it attracts and devours insects which are its food. Just a tickle of their hair is enough to clamp their leaves and such responsive behavior has become necessary for advanced materials and devices and...
Nanotechnology is now working on nature. A nano-particular vehicle has been developed by the Chemistry Department at Delhi University which can help turmeric in getting absorbed in the body. As of now testing is being conducted in different in-vitro...
Nerve agents have a bad effect on the nervous system of a human being and this causes the neurotransmitters to breakdown. Nerve agents are colorless and tend to accumulate in low lying areas. There are a number of methods for detection of nerve gas but...
A team of researchers at the California Nanosystems Institute are using nanotechnology for examining single molecules for detecting gene expression which can help in accurate examination of single cancer cells.
This new technique has enabled...
Now the textile industry stands to gain from nanotechnology as researchers are working to blend textile with nanotechnology. This is being undertaken by researchers at the North Carolina State University. Researchers who are working on processes and...
Researchers at the MIT have claimed to develop a new kind of fabric that mimics the stretchy and strong properties of spider silk.
Such fibers can be used in making fuel-cell cells, medical devices and military products.
The material is known as...
Today the challenge in front of the global community is to increase the storage capacity of a hard disk without increasing the size of the disks.
Though the challenge looks difficult to achieve as the magnetic disks have already been exploited to...
Cheaper microchips was always a trouble but will not be now as researchers at Princeton University have developed a technique which will help in eliminating tiny air bubbles that are formed when liquid droplets are molded into intricate circuits....
Up till now gold was being used in jewelry due to its inert properties but now the field of nanotechnology is too working on it. Researchers had been working on gold clusters for a very long time and since gold clusters have a small number of atoms...
Researchers have developed nanoparticles similar to a developing clot which attack tumors and they search for and bind to blood vessels around the tumors and also attract more nanoparticles for targeting the tumors.
These nanoparticles can aid in...
HP Labs is busy nowadays with nanotechnology. Researchers at H.P are using this technology for creating a computer chip which is eight times denser when compared with a normal chip. This is expected to increase the life of the chips. The researchers...
It seems that nanotechnology is proving to be effective in the treatment of various types of cancers and in a recent study conducted by American scientists they have discovered that delivery of gene therapy in lipid based nanoparticles could be quite...
If you are a person fond of clicking pictures then you must be aware that it is still difficult to take pictures in the dark even with the best cameras but a Korea based company has made an effort to get rid of this problem by showcasing the latest...
