Nano-H�gel: Wenn statt L�chern Berge wachsen

Ionenstrahlen werden schon lange eingesetzt, um Oberfl�chen zu ver�ndern. Ionen k�nnen dabei so hohe Energien besitzen, dass bereits ein einziges Teilchen drastische Ver�nderungen auf der damit beschossenen Oberfl�che hervorruft. Nach sorgf�ltigen Untersuchungen konnte das internationale Forschungsteam nun erkl�ren, warum sich dabei manchmal Einschusskrater, in anderen F�llen hingegen Erhebungen bilden.

Diamondoid nanoparticles improve electron emitters

Diamondoids are nanoparticles made of only a handful of carbon atoms, arranged in the same way as in diamond, forming nanometer sized diamond crystals. Researchers have demonstrated the fascinating capability of these tiny little diamonds to act as a monochromator for electrons.

Smart fluids could lead to self-assembling computer chips

Imagine a computer chip that can assemble itself. According to Eric M. Furst, professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at the University of Delaware, engineers and scientists are closer to making this and other scalable forms of nanotechnology a reality as a result of new milestones in using nanoparticles as building blocks in functional materials.
