Researchers have created magnetic replicas of sunflower pollen grains using a wet-chemical, layer-by-layer process that applies highly conformal iron oxide coatings. The replicas possess natural adhesion properties inherited from the spiky pollen particles while gaining magnetic behavior, allowing for tailored adhesion to surfaces.
Scientists at Harvard University and the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) hope new understanding of the natural nanoscale photonic device that enables a small marine animal to dynamically change its colors will inspire improved protective camouflage for soldiers on the battlefield.
A Loughborough University research team has won research funding from the UK-based Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) to examine the health and safety considerations of nanotechnology.
Five Empa laboratories involved in the EU NanoHouse project, along with four other European research institutes and four industrial partners, have been researching the danger of nano-dust from façade paint.
W.R. Grace & Co., Columbia, MD, under its bankruptcy plan of reorganization, paid over $63 million to the U.S. government to resolve claims for environmental cleanups at approximately 39 sites in 21 states, according to the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
