Designer Nanomaterials On-demand: Universal Method For Creating Nanoscale Composites (redOrbit)
Image Caption: These transmission electron microscope images show (a) the original nanorod array of cadmium sulfide and (b) a composite made from cadmium sulfide and the chalcogenide copper sulfide. In the composite, nanoparticle ordering is maintained but spacing between the particles decreases.

Weak Laser Can Ignite Nanoparticles, With Exciting Possibilities (redOrbit)
University of Florida engineering researchers have found they can ignite certain nanoparticles using a low-power laser, a development they say opens the door to a wave of new technologies in health care, computing and automotive design.A paper about the research appears in this week’s advance online edition of Nature Nanotechnology.Vijay Krishna, Nathanael Stevens, Ben... »
Nanoscale optical antennas inspired by old-school TV aerials (Ars Technica)
A paper published in Nature this week details how researchers have taken a common antenna design and replicated it on the the nanoscale level. When a regular TV aerial that handles radio frequencies is scaled down to nanometer sizes and slightly modified, the result was a tiny antenna that could direct light of nanometer... »
