nANO meets water VI: Nanotechnik für die Wasser-Praxis

Am 19. Februar 2015 hieß es wieder "nANO meets water" bei Fraunhofer UMSICHT. Gut 100 Fachleute aus Industrie und Wirtschaft kamen nach Oberhausen, um sich beim Thema Innovationen und Risiken von Nanomaterialien für die Wassertechnik auf den neuesten Stand zu bringen. Auch das Brennpunktthema "Mikroplastik" fand bei allen Beteiligten großen Anklang....

Graphene shows potential as novel anti-cancer therapeutic strategy

University of Manchester scientists have used graphene to target and neutralise cancer stem cells while not harming other cells. This new development opens up the possibility of preventing or treating a broad range of cancers, using a non-toxic material. Writing in the journal ("Graphene oxide selectively...

New nanowire structure absorbs light efficiently

Researchers at Aalto University have developed a new method to implement different types of nanowires side-by-side into a single array on a single substrate. The new technique makes it possible to use different semiconductor materials for the different types of nanowires. 'We have succeeded in combining nanowires grown by the VLS (vapor-liquid-solid)...
