A web 2.0 social networking and collaboration tool for nanoscientists and engineers, NanoHUB has more than 24,000 users and has been increasing in popularity in recent months. The site allows easy...

The addition to quantum dots to solar cells could lead to a tripling in efficiency, boosting from the usual 10% up to 40% or 60% (with concentrators). Silicon nanocrystals (quantum dots) are able to...

Scientists at Clemson University managed to extend the lifespan of florescent nanoparticles, which are used for all sorts of biomarking-related purposes. Because these nanoparticles are single...

Using a technique called selective laser sintering, researchers have discovered a method to produce components for scientific setups in a very fast and easy way. In the picture, we see an atomic force...
