Different types of #copper, #gold, and #platinum #nanoparticles are among the 12 #nanomaterials that have been announced in the draft #EU amendment to the #WTO banning their use in #cosmetics.
Different types of #gold nanoparticles, including #colloidal_gold, gold thioethylamino hyaluronic acid, and acetyl heptapeptide-9 colloidal gold, have been banned by the #European_Commission for use in #cosmetic products.
The new unclonable, cheap, and invisible RF #NEMS tags provide a unique digital #fingerprint and could become a powerful weapon in the global battle against #counterfeit products, even counterfeit bills.
The new #composite fabric based on metal-organic frameworks (#MOFs) has catalysts present in its cavities that are able to capture and deactivate toxic chemicals, #viruses, and #bacteria.
Researchers created a transistor-like #nanocomputr using a #rapamycin-sensitive domain and a #light-sensitive domain, that can control the function of a particular protein involved in cell movement and #cancer metastasis.
A new class of #metamaterials based on #carbon_fibers that are both sensing mediums and #nanogenerators can generate their own power and can be used for a wide array of sensing and monitoring applications.
In Russian Federation, during the #coronavirus pandemic, #eNano opened free access to over 60 online courses on the educational platform. During this promotion event, a total of 9003 visitors got acquainted with the courses offered.
#Claytronics is the product of the convergence of #nanotechnology and #information_technology. Such materials would be composed of #catoms which would be the smallest indivisible units of the #programmable_matter.
#Centrifugal_spinning that utilizes centrifugal force instead of high voltage to produce polymer nanofibers has been suggested as a safer and more cost-effective alternative to #electrospinning.
Using #carbon_dioxide to produce #SWCNT can result in the production of #carbon_nanotubes that are competitively priced with other conventional carbon structures.
#LG_Chem has recently announced plans to increase the production capacity of #carbon_nanotubes from 500 to 1,700 tons per annum to meet #battery #market demands.
Using #carbon_nanotubes as anode-conductive additives allows for a reduction in the use of conductive materials by around 30 percent and increase the capacity of #lithium_ion_batteries.
The new agreement between CEMEX and Carbon Upcycling in producing nanomaterials with greater reactivity and a lower carbon footprint, from industrial #CO2_emissions can results in the production of #concretes that meets the #construction industry's strictest requirements
Newly developed #graphene_oxide based #sensor platform can rapidly detect sepsis or the antibodies against the #coronavirus, also open the door to further applications including the detection of harmful gases such as carbon monoxide at room temperature.
#Sodium containing compounds are able to catalyze the growth of #carbon_nanotubes, or CNTs, at much lower temperatures than traditional catalysts require.
