Dr. Swadeshmukul Santra working on quantum dot imaging in his lab at UCF.
Testing the effectiveness of new pharmaceuticals may get faster thanks to a new technique which uses quantum dots to probe the efficacy of drugs in live cells. The novel technique was developed by a team at the University of Central Florida.
Researchers with U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory working with U.C. Berkeley have developed a versatile and less expensive nanowire-based endoscope that can provide high-resolution optical images of the interior of a single living cell.
Scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have produced a roadmap that can guide scientists on how to design and build graphene-based nanostructures that can be customized for applications in electronics, photovoltaics and other areas.
NanoScienceWorks.org speaks with co-authors of Nanotechnology: Understanding Small Systems: Second Edition. In this interview we explore the innovative approach from Ben Rogers, Jesse Adams and Sumita Pennathur, and discover how the team combined talents from academia and commercial research to produce an innovative and multi-disciplined nano textbook.
As the nanocommunity celebrates the year since the pioneers of graphene won the Nobel Prize, NanoScienceWorks.org speaks with the co-editor of Graphene: Synthesis and Applications. This is first comprehensive book to look at the exciting industrial properties and promises of graphene’s planar sheet. Prof. Wonbong Choi is the Director of Nanomaterials & Device Laboratory at Florida International University’s Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering.

This textbook offers a new paradigm for teaching the next generation of nanotechnologists. The authors survey the physical basics of nanotechnology (nanorheology, nanofluidics, nanomaterials and nanomechanics), and many industrial concerns -- manufacturing, reliability, and safety. This textbook is an ideal companion to "Introduction to Nanoscience," by the same group of esteemed authors.
In January 2010, CHOICE recognized Fundamentals of Nanotechnology as its Outstanding Academic Textbook (OAT), calling this first-of-its-kind nanoscience textbook a comprehensive, highly readable book with extremely high production values, which can be read and appreciated by experts and nonspecialists alike.
Tomorrow's nanoscientist will have a truly interdisciplinary and nano-centric education, rather than, for example, a degree in chemistry with a specialization in nanoscience. This textbook is a full-color masterwork presents an overview of the nanoscale, including characterization and fabrication across chemistry, physics, and biology aspects of nanoscience.
