Scientists are looking for new ways to transform complex and organized structures already existing in nature to rebuild bones out of wood

Scientists are turning one of the most powerful microscopes on earth into an engineering laboratory. A Scanning Electron Microscope allows you to examine the surfaces of probes to almost an atomic layer

A new process called "nano-imprinting" enlarges the luminosity of screens efficiently without using more energy. Engineers of the European research project NaPanil have modified the glass surfaces on the micrometric and nanometric scale in order to control the path of the light
 

Biofouling on ship hulls is responsible for an up to 40% higher fuel consumption of vessels. Now a new non-toxic paint has been developed. The secret is a nano structure, caused by amphiphilic molecules

Repairing a defective ear or even an eye is no longer science fiction. Nano-technology can help to make medical history.

How can electric cars increase their driving range before they need to stop and recharge? Traditional batteries cannot keep up with the high storage demand but the complete redesign of lithium ion batteries open up new possibilities

Solar cells that are more effective and cost less in production: European researchers developed nano-tuned surfaces to gain both.

Engineers have developed a new a mobile detection system to fight the growing threat of contaminated drinking water. Within the European research project DINAMICS they have built a microchip system which is able to identify specific dangerous bacteria, viruses or unicellular organisms

The flat surface of a silicon wafer is not smooth at all. Scientists of the EU research project Pronano have built a new tool that allows them to visualise the nano-scale of it. And now the smooth surface looks like a mountain range! (Apr '11)

Moore’s law predicts that the number of transistors on a silicon chip will double approximately every two years. Thanks to nano technology a similar acceleration is observed in data storage capability of memory chips by CORINNA LUECKE

Scientists of the Technical University of Denmark have developed a new filter to obtain ultra pure water which consists only of H2O molecules. All minerals, carbon compounds or gas molecules are filtered out by this special membrane

A new prosthetic hand developed at the University of Lund, Sweden, gives hope to amputees to regain hand mobility and touch feeling
