Nanotech used to build batteries out of paper
From www.computerworld.com:
Computerworld - Researchers at Stanford University have used nanotechnology to create lightweight and even bendable batteries out of paper.Read the complete article: Nanotech used to build batteries out of paper
The paper batteries are designed to be folded, crumpled or even soaked in an acidic solution and still work, according to Yi Cui, assistant professor of materials science and engineering, at Stanford. The team created the batteries by coating a sheet of paper with ink made of carbon nanotubes and silver nanowires.
Stanford offered no indication of when the batteries would be ready for commercial use.

Carbon nanotubes for high-performance electronics
From docs.lib.purdue.edu:
Carbon nanotube devices offer intrinsic advantages for high-performance logic device applications. The ultrasmall body of a carbon nanotube-the tube diameter-is the key feature that should allow aggressive channel length scaling, while the intrinsic transport properties of the nanotube ensure at the same time high on-currents. in addition, the narrowness of the tube is critical to implementation of novel device concepts like the tunneling transistor. By understanding the unique capabilities of carbon nanotubes and using them in unconventional designs, novel nanoelectronic applications may become feasible. However, much better control of materials quality must be obtained, and new fabrication processes must be developed before such applications can be realized.Read the complete article: Carbon nanotubes for high-performance electronics

Applied Nanotech Receives Purchase Order for Nanocomposites From US Army
From money.cnn.com:
Applied Nanotech Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: APNT) announced that it has received a purchase order in the amount of $25,000 from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center's Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL) for test samples of its carbon nanotube (CNT) enhanced fiber reinforced polymer composites. This purchase order is part of the overall goal of ERDC-CERL research in Multifunctional Materials to improve protection of facilities from ballistic and blast threats as well as improve electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, seismic resistance and degradation resistance.Read the complete article: Applied Nanotech Receives Purchase Order for Nanocomposites From US Army

At Stanford, nanotubes + ink + paper = instant battery
From nanotechwire.com:
Simply coating a sheet of paper with ink made of carbon nanotubes and silver nanowires makes a highly conductive storage device, said Yi Cui, assistant professor of materials science and engineering.Read the complete article: At Stanford, nanotubes + ink + paper = instant battery
...
"These nanomaterials are special," Cui said. "They're a one-dimensional structure with very small diameters." The small diameter helps the nanomaterial ink stick strongly to the fibrous paper, making the battery and supercapacitor very durable. The paper supercapacitor may last through 40,000 charge-discharge cycles � at least an order of magnitude more than lithium batteries. The nanomaterials also make ideal conductors because they move electricity along much more efficiently than ordinary conductors, Cui said.

Nucleic Acid Engineering: Engineering DNA as Both a Genetic and a Generic Material
From www.azonano.com:
Thus, DNA provides an ideal platform as an additional materials building block for both nanotechnology and nanobiotechnology. Since the pioneering work of Prof. Nadrian Seeman and others, DNA has been used in so many ways that it is no longer regarded as a sole biomolecule.Read the complete article: Nucleic Acid Engineering: Engineering DNA as Both a Genetic and a Generic Material

Using these DNA ABC monomers, the Luo group invented "target-driven polymerization" process where DNA polymers can only be synthesized in the presence of a pathogen DNA. The polymerization process amplifies signal within polymer itself, enabling accurate and sensitive molecular sensing. The technology will have wide applications in diagnostics as well as in multi-drug delivery.
