Home > Press > NIST sensor experts invent supercool mini thermometerTwo of NIST's superconducting thermometers for measuring cryogenic temperatures are glued to the lower left and upper right of this amplifier. The miniature thermometers, made of niobium on a layer of silicon dioxide, measure the temperature of the amplifier or...

Nov 21, 2020 (Nanowerk News) Assessing the environment’s prospects in a fast-changing world requires the consideration of emerging trends. A series of joint European Environment Agency (EEA) and Eionet briefings explores the potential environmental and policy impacts from four emerging technological innovations: – Artificial meat and the environment – Blockchain...

Home > Press > New technology allows more precise view of the smallest nanoparticles: Imaging technology offers advantages for diagnostics, other usesAbstract:Current state-of-the-art techniques have clear limitations when it comes to imaging the smallest nanoparticles, making it difficult for researchers to study viruses and other structures at the molecular level....

Nov 21, 2020 (Nanowerk News) Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have realized high-throughput production of thin, ordered through-hole membranes of titanium dioxide. Titania layers were grown using anodization on mask-etched titanium before being crystallized (RSC Advances, "Fabrication of ideally ordered TiO2 through-hole membranes by two-layer anodization"). Applying a second anodization,...
