“Mix and match” nanocomposite manufacturing
Sometimes the decisive step in the development of a technology is the transition from the lab to manufacturing. If it’s a good or great idea it usually means there will need to be a lot of it. Take nanomaterials, for example. Nanorods and nanocrystals are often combined with other materials to achieve some useful property. [...]

High volume production for graphene
Graphene is – potentially – the new wonder-nanotech-material for the semiconductor industry (that’s the ‘chip’ business for computers and everything else digital). In the form of a pure carbon sheet with many interesting electrical properties, graphene is an upgrade for the old reliable silicon. [SciTechStory: Big news for nanoscale graphene] However, despite the many research [...]

‘Natural’ self-assembly of nanoparticles
Somewhere along the line nanotechnologists have got it into their heads that nanoparticles ought to do self-assembly. Oh wait. They may have met a biologist. Living things do self assembly all the time, and much of it takes place at the molecular nanoscale. So why not nanotechnology? (Uh, life took millions of years to achieve [...]
