LANL Roadrunner Simulates Nanoscale Material Failure (redOrbit)
First-ever simulation of a stretching silver nanowire over a period of a millisecondVery tiny wires, called nanowires, made from such metals as silver and gold, may play a crucial role as electrical or mechanical switches in the development of future-generation ultrasmall nanodevices.Making nanodevices work will require a deep understanding of how these and other... »
UM scientists’ new task: detect cancers using nanotechnology (Sun-Sentinel)
Imagine a particle so small it would take a million of them to stretch across the period at the end of this sentence. Imagine such particles could help catch cancer cells floating in your bloodstream before they could metastasize to the liver, bones, brain or other organs.
