Touch (or tactile) sensors are gaining renewed interest as the level of sophistication in the application of minimum invasive surgery and humanoid robots increases. The spatial resolution of current large-area (greater than 1 cm2) tactile sensor lags by more than an order of magnitude compared with the human finger. By using metal and semi conducting [...]

A porous, disk-shaped “nest” for nanotubes may help magnetic resonance imaging become better than ever at finding evidence of cancer if the results of research led by investigators at Rice University are any indication of future success. The researchers, whose work was published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, have developed a general method for trapping [...]

M.I.T. researchers say that frost buildup can be better controlled by creating a surface with nanoscale texturing. NYT > Nanotechnology Share and Enjoy:

The Nano Graphene Platelets (NGP) material discovered in 2004 has been studied for a number of years.  It has many of the same characteristics as Carbon Nano Tubes (CNT) and other carbon particles; NGPs overall performance equals or exceeds most application performances when compared with any other Nano particles. Nano Graphene Platelets are also known [...]
