North Carolina State University researchers successfully created diamonds at room temperature in 2015 using carbon thin films. Now, they accomplished the same feat using carbon nanofibers and nanotubes.
Read MoreResearchers have successfully decreased radiation damage in mice using cerium oxide nanoparticles. Their findings could reduce risk of cell damage from radiation that cancer patients experience as well as lower astronauts’ risk of radiation exposure in space.
Read MoreResearchers who have used nanotechnology to develop invisible glass have earned a $20,000 grand prize in Create the Future Design contest, beating out 800 contenders from 60 countries.
Read MoreWhat are you doing to celebrate National Nanotechnology Day? Check out the list of activities on Nano.gov and learn all about the reason we celebrate materials at the nanoscale.
Read MoreDoes your clothing sometimes stink after a good workout? Today’s video shows how an element in the periodic table—silver—can kill the bacteria that causes body odor. Watch the video to learn more about silver’s stink-slaying superpowers.
Read MoreResearchers have succeeded in reducing heat transfer of ceramics at extreme temperatures. A simple coating of nanoparticles on a ceramic surface was all that was needed to reduce thermal shock and maintain strength of the ceramic material.
Read MoreThe Society announces awards that will be presented at the Awards Banquet of the 120th Annual Meeting in October to recognize significant contributions to the engineered ceramic and glass field by members and corporations.
Read MoreA new paper reports success making nanocomposites with wildly dissimilar materials by the cold sintering process. Each constituent brings functional properties, and the composite’s properties are better than either constituent alone.
