Not exact matches

For several decades, nanomaterials — matter that is so small it is measured in nanometers (one nanometer = one - billionth of a meter) and can be manipulated at the atomic scale — have outperformed conventional materials in strength, conductivity and other key attributes.

Although this is not the first nanonecklace ever made, the new process provides a more general and controllable way of synthesizing such nanomaterials — a useful development, because manipulating materials on such tiny scales is a challenge.

The research, in which the CIC biomaGUNE and the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid also participate, not only represents a record in optical quality in which billions of gold nanoparticles behave as a single one, but introduces a new way to manipulate and improve nanomaterials by employing lasers as chisels in the hands of a sculptor.
