The surface area of the best cells in the study was already 9 cm2. This is a good starting point for upscaling the results to full wafers and all the way to the industrial scale.

Toxin-absorbing nanoparticles are loaded into a holding gel to make a nanosponge-hydrogel, which can potentially treat local bacterial infections.

Sample networks of Ag nanowires for 140?μm × 140?μm domain with (a) concentration just above critical percolation concentration (C?~?Cp), and (b) concentration much above critical percolation concentration (C»Cp). The voltage is applied across the horizontal direction across the domain length.

This schematic drawing shows a nanoscale faucet: a long cylindrical channel connected to a container of superfluid helium. When vacuum pressure is applied to one end of the faucet's opening-a nanopore-helium atoms (represented here as pink balls) flow through, and are collected and measured as they spread out. An incredibly sensitive detector is needed to register the hundredths of nanograms of helium that flow through each second.

Gold rush at the initial stage of iron-based superconductors.
High Tc iron-based superconductor was reported in January 2008 via the discovery of iron- and nickel-based superconductors in 2006-2007. Half a year since then was just a dog year, i.e., the maximal Tc was pushed up to ~55K, the major parents compounds were found, and new carrier doping method ( Co substitution of Fe sites) and epitaxial thin film growth were reported. Note the received date in the figure denotes day that the submitted manuscript was received at the journal office or the manuscript was posted on ArXiv web server.

Iran on Tuesday unveiled three new home-made drugs used to treat people with acute kidney problems, a nanotechnology mask and a water treatment system.

Iranian researchers from Amirkabir University of Technology synthesized new nanostructures that have application in the production of lithium ion batteries.
