Scientists have found that a famous fluid dynamics equation, discovered by Walter Nernst and Albert Einstein in the beginning of the 20th century, breaks down completely under strong spatial confinement inside carbon nanotube pores.

Researchers have created tiny "bow ties" that are self-assembled from nanoparticles. This development opens the way for easily producing materials that interact with twisted light, providing new tools for machine vision and producing medicines.

Scientists have discovered a method for introducing spinning electrons as qubits – the building blocks of quantum computers – in a host nanomaterial.

Researchers have shown that trapped electrons traveling in circular loops at extreme speeds inside graphene quantum dots are highly sensitive to external magnetic fields and could be used as novel magnetic field sensors.

The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy has issued a press release summarizing the Nano4EARTH Kick-off Workshop and some of the themes that emerged.

The NNI Supplement to the President’s 2023 Budget documents progress of the NNI participating agencies in addressing the goals and objectives of the NNI. NNI investments support research to understand matter at the nanoscale and to translate this knowledge into technological breakthroughs that benefit all Americans.

The next virtual meeting of the NanoEducators Quarterly Forum (April 26) will focus on Nano4EARTH, a community effort that aims to accelerate nanotechnology-based technologies, industries, and training opportunities that address climate change.
