More specifically, nanotechnology is the imaging, modeling, measuring, design, characterization, production, and application of structures, devices, and systems by controlled manipulation of …

A defining moment came in 2012, when Professors Henry Snaith at the University of Oxford and Michael Graetzel at the Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne, building on the work of …

Nanofiltration is a type of membrane filtration process that is used to separate molecules based on size. It is one of the four membrane technologies that utilize pressure to effect separation of …

A nanobot, also known as a nanorobot, is a term used to describe a molecule that has the capability to be programmed to perform a specific task. The field of nanorobotics involves the …

One of the most fascinating aspects of nanotechnology is the incredibly small scale at which nanoengineering and nanofabrication take place. Consider this example: The first working …

Electrospinning: The most widely used method for producing nanofibers, electrospinning uses an electric field to draw charged threads of polymer solutions or melts into fine fibers. This …

Definition: Nanoscale refers to dimensions and tolerances in the range of 1 to 100 nanometers (nm). A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter, a scale so small that it encompasses the atomic …

Semiconducting Nanowires: These include silicon, germanium, and compound semiconductors like gallium arsenide (GaAs) and indium phosphide (InP), which are extensively used in …

PENGs use piezoelectric materials, such as zinc oxide nanowires, lead zirconate titanate, or polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) films. When these materials experience mechanical stress or …

Smart dust refers to wireless networks of sub-millimeter-scale autonomous computing and sensing platforms not larger than a grain of sand. Smart dust senses and records data about …
