University of Manchester (UK) researchers use graphene atoms to produce tiny LCDs.
University of Manchester (UK) researchers have produced tiny liquid crystal devices with electrodes using graphene – the development could lead to a new-generation of computer and TV displays, as well as become a key material for conductive transparent films.
Harvard University researchers, working with several leading German universities, have developed a new technique for fabricating nanowire photonic and electronic integrated circuits. Finding may yield low-cost, scalable nanowire use in photonics and ICs.
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created nanodroplet "test tubes," using an electronic switch that causes a micropipette to eject a droplet under 1 micron. These droplets, are then used to simulate a single-cell environment.
Researchers at Brown University have created a new type of dye-free optical probe that can directly sense naturally occurring neural activity by imbedding gold nanoparticles into tissue culture and thus measure the electrical activity of live neurons.
Researchers from Lund University (Sweden) have applied a novel nanotechnology approach to develop a new type of transistor – one that may be 50 times more energy-efficient, and that could even support frequencies too high for today’s technologies

University of North Texas (Denton, Texas) is the home of the Advanced Research and Technology Institute, which receives $4 million for nano-research under the 2007 Department of Defense Appropriations Bill. In 2006, UNT's Collge of Engineering began offering a B. S. in materials science and engineering (MSE), which focuses on studies in metals, ceramics, polymers, electronic materials, biomaterials, and nanomaterials.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering was founded in 1968. In 1995, the undergraduate program of Manufacturing Engineering was established. A Petroleum Engineering minor was added to the Mechanical Engineering program in 1997. To reflect the change of these Programs, the department was renamed as the Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering in 1998. A Mechatronics Engineering minor was added to the Mechanical Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering programs in 2002.

This month, the U.S. House of Representatives Science and Technology Committee approved the National Nanotechnology Initiative Amendments Act of 2008 (H.R. 5940) by voice vote, sending it to the full House. H.R. 5940 adjusts some NNI priorities, such as (a) more focus on environmental and safety research; (b) more nanotechnology-related projects for small business; and (c) expanding private company access to nanotechnology facilities for prototyping and studies.
