(Nanowerk News) Researchers at Syracuse University’s Department of Biomedical and Chemical Engineering at L.C. Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science are studying the toxicity of commonly ...
Scientists have engineered a kind of ‘sand’ – consisting of silicon dioxide nanoparticles coated with a polymer – that can inexpensively cool power-hungry electronic devices. The unique surface ...
One scientist would like to put sand into your computer. Not beach sand, but silicon dioxide nanoparticles coated with a high dielectric constant polymer to inexpensively provide improved cooling for ...
