Sydney: Researchers are taking the help of nanotechnology to improve paper and packaging materials at low cost. Their finding, which involves the addition of a simple step to the paper making process, makes possible the development of new magnetic, electrically conducive or optically active specialist paper products. Doctoral student Aaron Small and supervisor Jim Johnston, professor at Victoria University, investigated cost-effective methods of printing or coating nanoparticles onto paper and packaging materials. Nanoparticles are tiny particles 10,000 times thinner than the average human hair. While nanoparticles are already used to coat materials such as fabric or clay particles, this is the first time the technology has been used with a New Zealand-grown and produced material such as 'kraft board fibres' (Pinus radiata), which are exported as newsprint grade paper internationally. "We know how to print nanoparticles that glow under ultra violet light but are invisible ...

Aligarh: The Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) will set up a state-of-the-art Nanotechnology centre to facilitate advanced research and studies in material sciences, a university official said on Thursday."For setting up the centre, the Department of Science and Technology (DST), governed by the Government of India has just allocated over Rs.24 million," AMU spokesperson Rahat Abrar told sources."At present, there are only 20 seats in the Nanotechnology course which is being offered by AMU at the postgraduate level. With the setting up of the centre, the varsity would be able to enrol more students in the course," Abrar added.Nanotechnology, the science of understanding the structure and behaviour of materials at atomic or molecular level, is an emerging field across the globe, varsity officials said.

New Delhi: The Central Government on Thursday gave its in-principle approval for setting up an autonomous institute for Nano-Science & Technology in Mohali (Punjab). At present, more than 30 industries and 50 institutes in India are engaged in nanotech research and development basically focused on chip design, nanomedicine and nanomaterials.Nanotechnology is used to make materials and gadgets at the smallest possible scale (a nanometer is one millionth of a millimetre).Products offered by nanotechnology are single molecule transistors, enzyme-powered biomolecular motors and tiny submarine that carry chemicals from blood to brain to fight tumours.Its potential applications include microelectronics, diagnostic kits, improved water filters and sensors. Nano-scale particles of grapheme, a one atom thick layer of carbon molecules that form the basic structure of graphites, are one of the strongest materials known, which is used as a weapon to check climate change.
