Graphene decoupling of organic/inorganic interfaces

Cryogenic ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) was employed by researchers in the Center for Nanoscale Materials Electronic and Magnetic Materials and Devices Group to uncover exceptionally weak molecule-surface interactions between fullerene C60 deposited onto epitaxially grown graphene on silicon carbide substrates.

Thinner than a pencil trace

Energy-efficient, high-speed electronics on a nanoscale and screens for mobile telephones and computers that are so thin they can be rolled up. Just a couple of examples of what the super-material graphene could give us. But is European industry up to making these visions a reality?

Concern over communication of nanotechnology in Slovenia

The Slovenian government treats nanotechnology as a national research priority, but the topic is virtually non-existent in the national mass media, according to new research. This lack of information for the public means it is difficult for them to make decisions about the safety of products, the study argues.

Researchers arrange nanoparticles like "giant atoms"

Scientists at INM - Leibniz Institute for New Materials found out that certain nanoparticles assemble into groups as if they were atoms. Like the atoms of metals or noble gases, they form specific structures depending on their number. Through their findings, the researchers are now able to make precisely defined structures from nanoparticles.

Gaiker-IK4 studies in vitro toxicity of carbon nanofibres

Given its novelty, there are not many scientific studies on the possible risks to health arising from the use of nanoparticles, the reason why, in 2010, Grupo Antolin (the Antolin Group) launched an R+D+i project with GAIKER-IK4 Technological Centre, with which the Group has been collaborating for a decade.

Nanoparticle treatment inhibits 100% of lymphatic metastases

A University of Navarra team of scientists, led by Doctor Mar�a Blanco, in collaboration with the Salamanca Cancer Research Centre, has designed a treatment using nanoparticles and which inhibits 100% of lymphatic metastases in mice with mantle cell lymphoma. It involves medication based on edelfosine-loaded lipid nanoparticles, and which is taken orally.
