nanotimes News in Brief
“nano-cages.” The particles are nano-sized, hexago- nal crystals, each with a tiny metal frame wrapping around and encasing them just like a bird’s cage, but 100 million times smaller. Because the nano- cage is hexagonal, when looking at pictures of them from above, they appear as Stars of David. No one had ever seen hybrid nanoparticles form with such a cage structure before.

A new polymer-metal material that has sensory properties makes it possible to produce plastic component parts that monitor themselves. This material can be combined with various others and used in a variety of different ways. Researchers at Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Techno- logy and Applied Material Research (IFAM) in Bremen, Germany, presented this polymer-metal composite at the ELECTRONICA 2010 fair end of
