As the market reckons with AI's future, it's good to remember that we've been through this boom and bust hype cycle with technology before. Reading time 4 minutes Tell me if any of this sounds ...
When we think about the climate crisis, we tend to think big—it's a global problem that requires global solutions. But NIST scientists James Warren and Craig Brown also want us to think small, very ...
Researchers at TU Delft and Brown University have developed scalable nanotechnology-based lightsails that could support future advances in space exploration and experimental physics. Their research, ...
Ana Santos, a microbiologist at Rice University, grew up in Cantanhede, a small city in Portugal that is known as a biotechnology hub and a source of good wine. When she was a child, her grandfather, ...
This report of the Committee on the Quadrennial Review of the National Nanotechnology Initiative (2025) is a quadrennial review of the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) requested by the White ...

Why does Nanotechnology Need More Regulation? In principle, nanomaterials are just small chemicals, so existing safety laws do a lot of the heavy lifting. In practice, many nanomaterials have ...
In 1990, physicist Donald Eigler used a scanning tunneling microscope to take 35 individual xenon atoms and arrange them to spell the name of his company, IBM. The world’s tiniest corporate logo made ...
NIST scientists James Warren (left) and Craig Brown (right) co-authored a recent paper on how nanotechnology can combat climate change. Using this technology on windows, for example, can save up to 40 ...
