Electronic circuitry composed of nanowires can now be fitted to a surface of almost any shape on an object made of virtually any material.
Graphite + water = the future of energy storage
16 Jul 2011
A combination of two ordinary materials – graphite and water – could produce energy storage systems that perform on par with lithium ion batteries, but recharge in a matter of seconds and have an almost indefinite lifespan
New biosensor microchip could speed up drug development: Stanford researchers
13 May 2011
A new biosensor microchip that could hold more than 100,000 magnetically sensitive nanosensors could speed up drug development markedly, Stanford researchers say
