The observation could provide a new tool for assembling and sorting nanotubes.Tue, 15 Sep 2009 00:00:00 EDTJohn Toonhttp://www.gatech.edu/newsroom/release.html?nid=46222&source=1http://www.gatech.edu/newsroom/release.html?nid=46228Research reported in the journal Nature Nanotechnology found that nanoscience and nanotechnology are highly multidisciplinary -- but not much more so than other modern disciplines that also draw on multiple areas of science and technology.Mon, 07 Sep 2009 00:00:00 EDTJohn Toonhttp://www.gatech.edu/newsroom/release.html?nid=46228&source=1http://www.gatech.edu/newsroom/release.html?nid=46239Using thin films of silk as templates, researchers have incorporated inorganic nanoparticles that join with the silk to form strong and flexible composite structures that have unusual optical and mechanical properties.
