SciFri Radio: Small Things Considered
We'll talk about recent developments and directions for research in the fields of nanomaterials and nanotechnology.
SciFri Radio: Building Functional Fibers
Researchers have been able to build a fabric-based camera out of a mesh of light-sensitive fibers. We'll talk about the wok and efforts to use...
SciFri Radio: Nobel Chemist Harry Kroto and Buckyballs
We'll talk with chemist Harry Kroto about his discovery of buckyballs in the 1980s, and about new nano applications today, such as buckypaper.
SciFri Radio: An Etch-A-Sketch for Nanotech?
New research published this week may point to an easier way to create nanoscale electronic devices.
SciFri Radio: Building Nanobristle Structures
Researchers studying nanoscale structures have found materials that assemble themselves into spirals, capable of holding tightly to each other or...
SciFri Radio: Nanoantenna Sheets Harvest Energy
We'll talk with the developers of flexible sheets of 'nanoantennas' that could aid in getting energy from solar energy or from other heat sources.
SciFri Radio: Self Assembly for Building Nanoscale Patterns
Researchers have found a way to create high-quality repeating patterns with features just ten nanometers across. We'll talk about why that matters.
SciFri Radio: Will We Recognize The Future?
Ira talks with inventor, technologist and futurist Ray Kurzweil about the idea of 'the Singularity' -- what happens when technology advances so...
SciFri Radio: Nanotube Safety
Long carbon nanotubes may behave similar to asbestos fibers in the body, a preliminary study finds. We'll talk about what still needs to be learned...
SciFri Radio: The Missing Memristor?
We'll find out about a new basic electronic structure called the 'memristor,' and why it has electronics developers excited.
