The aerospace sector is under pressure to innovate building materials that not only result in fewer repairs and inspections but that are cheap and can improve the aircraft’s fuel efficiency. While in ...

Unique physical, chemical, and optical phenomena arise when materials are confined to the nanoscale. We are accustomed to making observations for the behavior of living systems on a macroscopic scale ...

“PFASs are ubiquitous in the natural environment: in groundwater, wastewater, soils; and they are harmful to the organisms and fish as well as for human health”, Aich says, “The United States ...

Nanomaterials have emerged as pivotal elements in advancing water treatment techniques and surface engineering, offering unprecedented functionalities through their unique physicochemical properties.

In an elegant fusion of art and science, researchers at Rice University have achieved a major milestone in nanomaterials engineering by uncovering how boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs)—touted for their ...

The efforts of many research groups in the industry and academia are concentrated on creating novel cost-efficient methods for fabricating such electrodes. With the help of nanomaterials, researchers ...

Because they can be programmed to travel the body and selectively target cancer and other sites of disease, nanometer-scale vehicles called nanocarriers can deliver higher concentrations of drugs to ...

The A.J. Drexel Nanomaterials Institute opened a sleek 7,400-square-foot laboratory this week with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, speeches, lab tours, and alumni and international guests in attendance.

Kimball Hall now contains more than just classrooms for engineering courses and administrative offices. In October, a new nanomaterials research laboratory called Cornell’s Center for Nanomaterials ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) One of the greatest challenges in commercializing graphene is how to produce high quality material, on an industrial scale, at low cost, and in a reproducible manner. The quality ...

Ten years after producing the first sample of the now widely studied family of nanomaterials, called MXenes, Drexel University researchers have discovered a different way to make the atom-thin ...
