Nanohealing Material Heads to Market
A startup is planning human trials for a nanostructured material that quickly stops bleeding.
Nanowires for Displays
Copper nanowires could be used in ultra-thin field-emission displays that are brighter and sharper than flat-panel displays.
HP Rewires Electronics
A new electronic device could lead to denser, faster kinds of memory, and processing chips that act more like the brain.
Nano RNA Delivery
Novel delivery agents could mean a more targeted way to turn off disease genes.
How to Make Graphene
A simple way to deposit thin films of carbon could lead to cheaper solar cells.
Nano Drugs to Starve Tumors
A new delivery system chokes a tumor's blood supply while sparing healthy tissues.
Targeted Delivery for Nanoparticles
Microcontainers could improve cancer treatment by carrying nanoparticles directly to tumors.
Nanofibers Heal Spinal Cords
Injected directly into the spinal cords of paralyzed mice, a new material restores use of the animals' hind legs.
A Record-Setting Resonator
The 4.5-gigahertz resonator could lead to smaller electronics.
Better Graphene Transistors
IBM researchers have improved transistors made from single-atom-thick sheets of carbon.
Adaptable Polymer Inspired by Sea Cucumbers
A new material promises safer brain implants.
Organic Transistors That Assemble Themselves
A simple way to pattern organic semiconductor material could mean cheap, large, bendable electronics.
Tiny Etch-a-Sketch
A simple technique can draw--and erase--wires to create denser computer memory.
Feeling the Force
A new kind of probe microscope can measure the force needed to push a single atom.
Strong, Light, and Stretchy Materials
A nanocomposite of aluminum oxide and a polymer is as tough as metals but lighter.
Clothes That Clean Themselves
Australian researchers are developing a process that could lead to self-cleaning wool sweaters and silk ties.

TR10: NanoRadio
Alex Zettl's tiny radios, built from nanotubes, could improve everything from cell phones to medical diagnostics.
Expandable Silicon
A new chip design could lead to far cheaper large-area electronics.
Power from Fabrics
Nanowires that convert motion into current could lead to textiles that can generate power.
