Plants know how to do what scientists and engineers have been trying to reproduce for decades: to transform sunlight into stored energy over a long period of time. At last, scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have succeeded in copying one of the key stages of this process.

Scientists have chosen plants, which are able to effectively transform sunlight into energy, as an example for their new self-healing photocells. In trying to create an effect that was developed over millions of years of evolution, a team of scientists at MIT have created a synthetic, self-assembling chloroplast that can break apart and repair photocells that have been damaged by the sun, says popsci.com.

This year at the forthcoming IFA exhibition in Berlin LG Electronics plans to present a new FULL LED TV set LG LEX8 produced with the application of NANO Lighting technology.

Employees of University of Pennsylvania (USA) constructed a volatile organic compound detector utilizing a graphene transistor.

According to the Science journal, researchers understood the mechanism of natural sun-protective molecules synthesis in cyanobacteria which may result in a wide market availability of sunscreen crèmes manufactured without the application of unsafe nanotechnologies.

New technology  will allow laptops and mobile phones to be charged for a whole week in one  second...

Researchers from South Korea have developed a way to insert colored markers into biological molecules. The marking particles, which look like microscopic dice, are characterized by a particular type of design made of colored dots, which give each type of mark unique “fingerprints” in the spectrum

Nanotechnology  promises to provide a large number of new sensors and optical components, but  the miniature size may make the exchange of information between devices more difficult.

Scientists invented the method of delivering medicine straight to the damaged tissues.

Scientists developed a method that can be used to determine how nanotechnology will affect the human organism.
