Nano-Tech Engineering

'A huge step forward in the safety screening of nanomaterials,' researchers say.

Researchers have developed a method that enables them to take a close look at individual atoms, and even at the atoms' natural environment in the lipid bilayer.

Scientists have developed a new strategy for making and attaching colored materials to the surface of titanium dioxide nanoparticles and, secondly, they have shown for the first time that simple compounds of the readily available metal zinc may be used.

Scientists using nanotechology at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry have created the first cavity-filling composite that kills harmful bacteria and regenerates tooth structure lost to bacterial decay.
