Nov 24, 2020 (Nanowerk News) True random numbers are required in fields as diverse as slot machines and data encryption. These numbers need to be truly random, such that they cannot even be predicted by people with detailed knowledge of the method used to generate them. As a rule, they...

Nov 24, 2020 (Nanowerk News) Our lungs are exposed to a multitude of hazardous airborne particles on a daily basis. Nanoparticles, due to their small size, may reach the sensitive alveolar region of the human lung and trigger inflammation even after a single inhalation leading to severe diseases such as...

Nov 24, 2020 (Nanowerk News) Ordinary solid-state lasers, as used in laser pointers, generate light in the visible range. For many applications, however, such as the detection of molecules, radiation in the mid-infrared range is needed. Such infrared lasers are much more difficult to manufacture, especially if the laser radiation...

Nov 23, 2020 (Nanowerk News) A research team from the Center for Design, Manufacturing and Materials at Skoltech has recently published a study in Composite Structures ("Self-diagnostic carbon nanocomposites manufactured from industrial epoxy masterbatches") focusing on multifunctional materials created through the addition of carbon nanoparticles to polymer matrices, designed to...
