A method of forming a nano-structure, the method comprising:irradiating an area on a first surface of a thermal conductive film to melt the area across the film, the film being insulated at a second surface thereof to provide two-dimensional heat transfer across the film, the liquid density of the film being greater than the solid density thereof; andcooling the area inwardly from the periphery thereof to form the nano-structure having an apical nano-tip.

A method for making nano-scale particles of a halide based scintillation material, comprising: combining a first solution comprising one or more metal salts and a second solution comprising one or more halide precursors to form nano-scale particles of a halide based scintillation material, wherein both the first solution and the second solution comprise ionic liquids; and isolating the nano-scale particles from the combined first and second solutions.

FOE's article also lists 29 major food and agriculture companies involved in "nanotechnology research and development," and 104 purported nano food and food-related products.While we agree eating metallic and/or metal oxide nanoscale materials is probably not a good idea, we believe FOE has gone overboard in suggesting consumers are somehow unknowingly wolfing down nanoparticles.Nevertheless, FOE calls for a: (i) "moratorium until… [read post]
