Their work exploits the way certain peptide sequences can be made to self-assemble into mesh-like sheets of "nanofibres" when immersed in salt solutions. ❋ Unknown (2006)
They've drawn inspiration from nanofibres in the geckos' foot hairs, which allow the lizards to cling upside down on inclined surfaces, and the nanoscale structures used by mussels to "glue" themselves to rocks despite being underwater. ❋ Unknown (2011)
Researchers are developing adhesives that draw inspiration from the nanofibres in the hairs on a gecko's footthat allow the lizards to cling upside down on inclined surfaces. ❋ Unknown (2011)
With room temperature superconductors, we can have anti-gravity, and with carbon nanofibres, we can build space elevators that make getting into orbit trivial. ❋ Unknown (2007)
These are some of my favourite topics: superconductivity, antigravity, nanofibres, and – of course – cold fusion. ❋ Unknown (2007)
Lars Berglund of Swedish Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm develops a paper using processed natural cellulose nanofibres. ❋ Unknown (2008)
How do you coat such small ZnO nanofibres to prevent this and how would such a coating effect the piezoelectric effect? ❋ Tracy Staedter (2008)
The Dutch-designed catalysts consist of tiny nanoparticles separated from each other on carbon nanofibres. ❋ Unknown (2012)
Gecko feet are thought to rely on dry adhesion, with nanofibres creating the stickiness through Van der Waals forces. ❋ Unknown (2010)
"What is new about this idea is the combination of inexpensive raw materials, namely activated carbon and antimicrobial nanofibres, in point-of-use water filter systems," Marelize Botes, researcher in the university's department of microbiology, told SciDev. ❋ [email protected] (SciDev.Net: Munyaradz (2010)
