A team of scientists from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and Northwestern University has produced 3-D images and videos of a tiny platinum nanoparticle at atomic resolution that reveal new details of defects in nanomaterials that have not been seen before.
The study reveals that incorporating nanoclay improves humidity resistance, VDA cyclic corrosion over mild steel substrate and acetic acid spray corrosion over aluminum substrate.
These dispersered alumina products consist of dispersion of sub-micron and nano-particle size alumina that are specifically designed for use in coatings formulations where both gloss and clarity are critical.
Researchers from IBM and the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology have developed an antimicrobial hydrogel that can break through diseased biofilms and completely eradicate drug-resistant bacteria upon contact.
Inorganic pigments producer Nubiola, Barcelona, Spain, is partnering with Tekniker, a technology center based in the Basque Country, Spain, on the NANOPIGMY project.
A nanoscale coating that's at least 95 percent air repels the broadest range of liquids of any material in its class, causing them to bounce off the treated surface, according to the University of Michigan engineering researchers who developed it.
The nighttime twinkling of fireflies has inspired scientists to modify a light-emitting diode (LED) so it is more than one and a half times as efficient as the original.
Iron nanoparticles encapsulated in a rust-preventing polymer coating could hold potential for cleaning up groundwater contaminated with toxic chemicals.
In Harvard’s Pierce Hall, the surface of a small germanium-coated gold sheet shines vividly in crimson. A centimeter to the right, where the same metallic coating is literally only about 20 atoms thicker, the surface is a dark blue, almost black. The colors form the logo of the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), where researchers have demonstrated a new way to customize the color of metal surfaces by exploiting a completely overlooked optical phenomenon.
