New, improved-value pricing structure announced for single wall carbon nanotubes.In a \
move that's sure to be welcomed by research and development labs, Thomas Swan & Co. \
Ltd. have announced a new, improved-value pricing structure for their high quality \
Elicarb ® Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes. Well-established as pioneers in the sector, \
Thomas Swan are encouraging growth in the industry with this new pricing structure \
– which is designed to open up new opportunities for Single Wall Carbon Nanotube \
(SWNT) applications. [3] Read more.
Self-assembly silica nanowires may herald new generation of integrated optical \
devices.Silica microwires are the tiny and as-yet underutilized cousins of optical \
fibers. If precisely manufactured, these hair-like slivers of silica could enable \
applications and technology not currently possible with comparatively bulky optical \
fiber. By carefully controlling the shape of water droplets with an ultraviolet \
laser, a team of researchers from Australia and France has found a way to coax silica \
nanoparticles to self-assemble into much more highly uniform silica wires.[4] Read \
more.
IBM reveals new antimicrobial hydrogel to fight superbugs and other resistant \
biofilms.The antimicrobial hydrogel can break through diseased biofilms and \
completely eradicate drug-resistant bacteria upon contact. The synthetic hydrogel, \
which forms spontaneously when heated to body temperature, is the first-ever to be \
biodegradable, biocompatible and non-toxic, making it an ideal tool to combat serious \
health hazards facing hospital workers, visitors and patients. [5] Read more.
Earthworms used to make cheap quantum dots. Quantum dots have been used to improve \
the efficiency of solar panels and build high-tech display screens. However, to be \
able to use them in the body - to track cancer cells, for example - intricate and \
expensive chemical processes are required that can reduce the dots' luminescence. \
Earthworms, fed the right chemicals, can serve as a natural production line for \
biocompatible quantum dots. [6] Read more
A new line of men's suits has a nano coating. A new line of men's suits from a custom \
online menswear brand boasts a nanotech coating that repels liquid and stains and \
resist odours and wrinkles, all the while staying breathable and comfortable. If the \
suits live up to their promise, you should be able to run through a rainstorm while \
sweating profusely, then break a ballpoint pen over your leg -- and still show up at \
the board meeting looking (and smelling) no worse for the wear. [7] Read more.
World record for solar cell efficiency. Scientists at Empa, in a remarkable feat, \
have developed thin film solar cells on flexible polymer foils with a new record \
efficiency of 20.4% for converting sunlight into electricity. The cells are based on \
CIGS semiconducting material (copper indium gallium (di)selenide) known for its \
potential to provide cost-effective solar electricity. The technology is currently \
awaiting scale-up for industrial applications.[8] Read more.
New material produces warm-white leds for indoor lighting. Light emitting diodes, \
more commonly called LEDs, are known for their energy efficiency and durability, but \
the bluish, cold light of current white LEDs has precluded their widespread use for \
indoor lighting. Now, University of Georgia scientists have fabricated what is \
thought to be the world's first LED that emits warm white light using a single light \
emitting material, or phosphor, with a single emitting center for illumination. [9] \

Better rechargeable batteries made with graphene films. Researchers used graphene \
films to create the negative electrode of a lithium-ion cell and then studied the \
charge and discharge characteristics of this rechargeable battery. They found the \
graphene films grown on copper did not cycle the lithium ions and the battery \
capacity was negligible. But graphene grown on nickel showed improved performance \
because it was able to store and release lithium ions more efficiently. [10] Read \

graphene films to create the negative electrode of a lithium-ion cell and then \
studied the charge and discharge characteristics of this rechargeable battery. They \
found the graphene films grown on copper did not cycle the lithium ions and the \
battery capacity was negligible. But graphene grown on nickel showed improved \
performance because it was able to store and release lithium ions more efficiently. \

Silverstone Circuit, UK. </strong></strong> <br> Hear how nanotechnology is enabling \
manufacturers of workwear, corporate clothing and PPE to incorporate many new \
attributes into their products. <br> International speakers will discuss textile \
treatments that are 100% effective against germs; that combine ruggedness with \
lightweight, flexibility and heat resistance; that protect against the effects of \
electric arc discharge, and even respond to environmental demands. <br> The \
conference will also address new materials and techniques for creating state-of-the \
