15 years of Nature Nanotechnology

 

 

Nature Nanotechnology was launched in October 2006, and through the years it has achieved great success thank to the wonderful contribution of scientists around the world. We celebrated the 15th aniversary of Nature Nanotechnology with a series of webinar covering a wide range of aspects of research in nanoscience and nanotechnology. 

 

In the 7th and last webinar of the series, Pablo Jarillo-Herrero summarizes the latest progress on interaction-driven and topological quantum phenomena in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene and other emerging moiré systems. Polina Anikeeva describes bioelectronics approaches to control neural activity and provide potential future therapeutic avenues for neurological diseases.

 

Nature Nano Talks - Claire Donnelly and Andreas Heinrich  (24th November 2021)

In the 6th webinar of the series, Andreas Heinrich describes seminal developments to exploit quantum coherence in a variety of nanoscale systems and Claire Donnelly explores magnetism and its dynamics in 3D nanoscale systems.

 

In the fifth event of the series, Rich Masel provides an industrial perspective of CO2 conversion, transforming CO2 into valuable chemicals, while Yi Cui discusses the importance of nanoscale understanding for developing viable batteries for the green energy transition.

 

 

In the fourth event of the series, Yamuna Krishnan tells us how DNA nanodevices can be used to investigate cell biology, while Hagan Bayley summarizes his work in single-molecule analysis with a nanopore, the commercialization of the nanopore technique, and his recent efforts on synthetic tissues

 

In the third event of the series, Menachem Elimelech talks about advantages and weak points of nanostructures in wastewater treatments while Melanie Kah discusses the potential of nanomaterials used in agriculture.  

 

 

In the second event of the series, Feng Gao highlights recent advances in the development of perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) from materials to devices and their characterization, while Jennifer Dionne explains how nanophotonics concepts can be used for applications in other fields, such as catalysis and biosensing.

Tiny treasure: The future of nano-gold (Animation) (28 January 2015)

This animation explores how gold nanoparticles could be used to kill cancer cells, improve the efficiency of solar cells and catalyse chemical reactions.

Lumps of gold moulded into rings, coins and ingots have been highly prized for millennia. But recently, scientists have realized that nanoparticles of the metal could also become a valued commodity. In labs around the world, gold nanoparticles are being tested as components in technology and medicines. See how gold could be used to kill cancer cells, improve the efficiency of solar cells and catalyse chemical reactions.
