India is all set for a nanotechnology revolution, which would dramatically improve the standard of life of the people and find solutions to major problems in health, agriculture and water management, according to an internationally well known researcher in the
For the first time ever, nanostructures have been measured on another planet. On July 9, the NASA Phoenix Mars Probe recorded images with nanometer resolution using its onboard Swiss-made atomic force microscope, and successfully transmitted these images back to Earth.
The 2-day event includes presentations by prominent speakers from the semiconductor industry and IMEC; it brings industry executives and research managers together with senior IMEC research staff to exchange knowledge and viewpoints on upcoming technological challenges.
Magnolia Optical Technologies announced that it is collaborating with Dr. Roger Welser of the Kopin Corporation in developing indium nitride (InN)-based quantum dot solar cells for NASA and Defense applications.
Arizona State University is strengthening its commitment to boost Arizona's economic development prospects in the renewable energy industry by establishing the Solar Power Laboratory. Prominent scientists and engineers are being hired to lead the endeavor to improve the efficiency of
For the first time ever, nanostructures have been measured on another planet. On July 9, the NASA Phoenix Mars Probe recorded images with nanometer resolution (one nanometer roughly corresponds to 0.0...
In experiments in mice, chemotherapy drugs encapsulated in nanoparticles targeted to the blood vessels that supply nutrients to tumor cells prevented the usually fatal spread of the cancer to additional sites.
In an effort to expand the global accessibility of the Nano Risk Framework, Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and DuPont have released translations of the Framework in three additional language...
Silicon Genesis, a leader in process and technology for engineered substrates announced today that it has successfully produced solar substrates for the PV industry using a revolutionary k...
A newly developed nano-sized electronic device is an important step toward helping astronomers see invisible light dating from the creation of the universe.
Nanotechnology company PixelEXX Systems has been launched by Washington University in St. Louis researchers Dr. Samuel Wickline, Stuart Solin, Kirk Wallace and Mike Hughes to bring imaging nanoarrays to market.
The new tool enables users for the first time to evaluate current double-patterning schemes and cost-effectively explore alternate solutions to lithography challenges in design, materials and process development. This new computational lithography tool also supports single-pass patterning and immersion technologies.
Various techniques are being developed to enhance the already impressive properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) further by combining them with other materials. We have covered plenty of examples in our Spotlights. For instance, encapsulating carbon nanofibers with CNTs transforms cheap
NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander has finally used the onboard atomic force microscope from Nanosurf.This Swiss-made microscope builds an image of the surface of a particle by sensing it with a sharp t...
A newly developed nano-sized electronic device is an important step toward helping astronomers see invisible light dating from the creation of the universe. This invisible light makes up 98% o...
