The Thinnest CD-RW: Atomic-scale Data Storage Possible (Nanotechnology)

Leave a comment

Using a focused laser beam, scientists can manipulate properties of nanomaterials, thus ‘writing’ information onto monolayer materials. By this means, the thinnest light disk at atomic level was demonstrated. The bottleneck in atomic-scale data storage area may be broken by a simple technique, thanks to recent innovative studies conducted by scientists from Nanjing Normal University (NJNU) and … Continue reading The Thinnest CD-RW: Atomic-scale Data Storage Possible (Nanotechnology) →

Researchers Develop Smart Microparticle That Identifies Defective Parts in Electrical Appliances (Nanotechnology)

Leave a comment

Repairing complex electrical appliances is time consuming and rarely cost-effective. The working group led by Prof. Dr. Karl Mandel, Professorship of Inorganic Chemistry at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), has now developed a smart microparticle that enables defective components in these appliances to be identified more quickly and easily by using light signals. In the long-term, this … Continue reading Researchers Develop Smart Microparticle That Identifies Defective Parts in Electrical Appliances (Nanotechnology) →

Can Nanoparticles Help Plants Fight Against Cadmium Stress? (Botany / Nanotechnology)

Leave a comment

Faizan and colleagues evaluated the possibility of reducing cadmium stress in a Solanum lycopersicum with the help of chitosan nanoparticles (CTS-NPs). They showed that the chitosan nanoparticles not only effectively reduced cadmium accumulation by increasing the nutrient uptake but also it successfully enhanced growth, photosynthesis, protein content and antioxidant enzymes under cadmium stress conditions. Their … Continue reading Can Nanoparticles Help Plants Fight Against Cadmium Stress? (Botany / Nanotechnology) →
