Nanotech method could make profits from waste plastic

Recycling waste plastic isn’t effective because there’s no money in it. But what if all that plastic could become nanomaterials?

“We can now control two quantum light sources and connect them to each other. It might not sound like much, but it’s a major advancement…”

Small amounts of silver nanoparticles combined with a common antibiotic block the growth of resistant bacteria, new research shows.

Silicon nanochip technology, shown to be successful in changing skin tissue into blood vessels and nerve cells, may also treat traumatic muscle loss.

Microscopic pipes, two million times smaller than an ant, could one day funnel drugs to individual human cells without fear of leaking.

Adding tiny bits of chitin—about 1,000 times smaller than a human hair—from waste shrimp shells to cement paste made the material up to 40% stronger.

A shapeshifting swarm of tiny robots could one day brush, rinse, and floss your teeth, say researchers.
