UK Health and Safety Laboratory Will Hold Course on Nanotechnology Health and Safety

On January 27, 2015, the United Kingdom (UK) Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL) will hold a one-day course on “Nanotechnology Health & Safety -- A Practical Approach.” The course is intended to help participants gain an understanding of the techniques and methods available to identify and control exposure to airborne nanomaterials. HSL states that the course will include: ...

Analytical simulation of interfacial DNA hybridisation for design of an optimal nanotechnology handheld biosensor

DNA biosensors are becoming ubiquitous at current scale-level of nanotechnology; but still remain in research laboratory. The project objective is accessing feasibility for a commercial off-the-shelf ...

DOE Announces $30 Million for Quantum Information Science to Tackle Emerging 21st Century Challenges

The U.S. Department of Energy this week announced plans to provide $30 million for Quantum Information Science (QIS) research that helps scientists understand how nature works on an extremely small scale 100,000 times smaller than the diameter of a ...

Compact Scanning Tunneling Micrscopy

Scanning Tunneling Microscope is a device to scan conductive sample surfaces at the atomic scale. Quantum tunneling leads the STM theory. Conductive tip reaches to the conductive sample surface with a bias Voltage, and electrons can be tunneled between the sample and tip. As a result of this, tunnel current is occurred.
