 | In research that gives literal meaning to the term "power suit," UC Berkeley engineers have created energy-scavenging nanofibers that could one day be woven into clothing and textiles. The technology could eventually lead to wearable "smart clothes" that can power hand-held electronics through ordinary body movements. ...> Full Article |
 | A team of researchers from the University of Vigo, Rutgers University in the United States and Imperial College London, in the United Kingdom, has developed "laser spinning," a novel method of producing glass nanofibres with materials. They have been able to manufacture bioglass nanofibres, the bioactive glass used in regenerating bone, for the first time. ...> Full Article |
 | Fiber scientist is working with the U.S. government to create fabrics made of functional nanofibers that would decompose toxic industrial chemicals into harmless byproducts. ...> Full Article |
A Monash University PhD student has developed a new technique that could revolutionise stem cell treatment for Parkinson's disease and spinal cord injury.

Creating a so-called "super nanocomposite" that can revolutionize a range of products is the dream of materials scientists. So far, that's proved elusive. A University of Nebraska-Lincoln engineer shares that big dream but said he thinks using nanomaterials to strengthen small structures is more promising and cost-effective for the near-term.

 | Carbon fibers that are only one-10th the size of a human hair but three times stronger than steel may hold up to the intense heat and radiation of next-generation nuclear power generators, providing a safety mechanism. The "Gen IV" power-generating reactors are being designed to provide low-cost electricity, but with a built-in safety mechanism current reactors do not have. ...> Full Article |
In short time, nanotechnology has contributed greatly to scientific research. However, unknown about this popular and continuously emerging field are the environmental effects - particularly to aquatic life. A new study at the University of Missouri-Columbia will attempt to provide answers.
