Molecular Robotics

Aida Lab - "designer" molecules and supramolecules - http://macro.chem.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/Top.html

Takuzo Aida's group developed scissors that are 3 nanometers long, and can be used to clip other molecules. See the article on Yahoo News.


Nanoparticle Migration

The University of Queensland in Australia is home to the Australian Institute for Bioengineering & Nanotechnology.

They released a news article discussing the toxicological evaluation of nanoparticles and nanostructures. It can be found at http://www.aibn.uq.edu.au/index.html?page=53401&pid=29811


Nanobubbles



A nice article about nanobubbles on the American Chemical Society website: acs.org

The researchers discussed were Phil Attard and James W.G. Tyrrell from the Ian Walk Reasearch Group at the University of South Australia



A paper published in 2004 by the Max-Planck-Research Group for Colloids and Surfaces at the Institute of Ceramics, Glass and Construction Materials at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg explains how nanometer sized bubbles can cause the rupture of aqueous wetting films. An abstract can be found on PubMed, and the National Center for Biotechnology Information - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov


Nanocells

USC is developing designer immune cells to fight AIDS. See the news article at usc.edu


Nanocircuits

P. Hadley and J.E. Mooij of the Delft Institute of Microelectronics and Submicron Technology DIMES and Department of Applied Physics (in Delft, The Netherlands) discussed nanocircuits in a publication on quantum devices.

Nanoelectric

Welcome to Nanoelectric. This is a collection of my favorite nanotechnolgy resources related to electricity and electronics.

Stephen Y. Chou is the Joseph C. Elgin Profressor of Engineering at Princeton University. He is a professor of electrical engineering and a pioneer in nanofabrication for electronics. See his profile at ee.princeton.edu


Nanofuels

(wiki) Microbial fuel cells


Nanotractors

Scientists at UC Riverside have discovered a molecule that can transport 2 CO2 molecules in a straight line.


Mechanically-Interlocked Molecular Architectures

These are molecules connected as a result of their topology, instead of through traditional bonds.
