Science at the Theater, June 6th, 2011: Berkeley Lab scientists reveal how nanoscience will bring us cleaner energy, faster computers, and improved medicine. Alex Weber-Bargioni: How can we see things at the nanoscale? Alex is pioneering new methods that provide unprecedented insight into nanoscale materials and molecular interactions. The goal is to create rules for building nanoscale materials. Babak Sanii: Nature is an expert at making nanoscale devices such as proteins. Babak is developing ways to see these biological widgets, which could help scientists develop synthetic devices that mimic the best that nature has to offer. Ting Xu: How are we going to make nanoscale devices? A future in which materials and devices are able to assemble themselves may not be that far down the road. Ting is finding ways to induce a wide range of nanoscopic building blocks to assemble into complex structures. Delia Milliron: The dividends of nanoscience could reshape the way we live, from smart windows and solar cells to artificial photosynthesis and improved medical diagnosis. Delia is at the forefront of converting fundamental research into nanotechnology. Moderated by Jim DeYoreo, interim director of the Molecular Foundry, a facility located at Berkeley Lab where scientists from around the world address the myriad challenges in nanoscience. www.lbl.gov

www.deckeryeadon.com Nanotechnology has been used by a New York design office to change a sheet of standard office paper into a flexible surface that can conduct electricity. The work was done by Decker Yeadon LLC, a firm that specializes in finding novel applications for advanced materials, such as smart materials and nanomaterials. They recently demonstrated the conductivity of the office paper by using it as a conduit to power an LED. Decker Yeadon first created a liquid solution that they’re referring to as a NanoINK. The ink that they made primarily consists of carbon nanotubes, deionized water, and a chemical surfactant that helps the nanotubes disperse in the water. The nanotubes they used are only 1.5 nm in diameter, which is smaller than a DNA molecule. Their NanoINK was used to impart the electrical properties of the nanotubes onto substrates that they coated with the ink, including cotton fabric and paper. The work opens up a number of possibilities for applications, in architecture and other design disciplines, that might take advantage of the printable, conductive ink.

Most people have at least heard of nanotechnology. Fewer people know what it really is, and hardly anyone knows how it works. Zyvex not only knows how to make nanotech work, they’re using it to create materials that will transform a-million-and-one products, from heavy industry to the bikes we ride.
