Outstanding Achievement in nano technology by DR. Pradeep Namboodiri and
and Doo-In Kim
In yet another twist on the strangeness of the
nanoworld, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) and the University of Maryland-College Park have discovered that materials such as silica that are quite brittle in bulk form behave as ductile as gold at the
nanoscale. Their results may affect the design of future
nanomachines.
NIST scientists Pradeep Namboodiri and
Doo-In Kim and colleagues first demonstrated* the latest incongruity between the macro- and microworlds this past fall with direct experimental evidence for nanoscale ductility. In a new paper** presented at the March Meeting of the American Physical Society, NIST researchers Takumi Hawa and Michael Zachariah and guest researcher Brian Henz shared the insights they gained into the phenomenon through their computer simulations of nanoparticle aggregates.
