One of the immediate applications of carbon nanotubes (CNT) is as an additive to polymers to create electrically conducting plastics-a relatively low CNT concentration can dramatically change the polymer's electrical conductivity by orders of magnitude, from an insulator to a conductor.
FEI Company has introduced a revolutionary, high-throughput, cryo transmission electron microscope (TEM) that combines high- throughput sample handling with state-of- the-art electron optics. It provides fast, fully-automated three-dimensional data about biological molecules and macromolecular complexes.
Researchers from St. Petersburg have designed and produced a device that enables to promptly and accurately identify the sizes of micro- and nano-particles. The laser ray illuminates the object in the device so that to judge about the particle sizes by intensity of light diffused by the particles.
Pirelli announces that it will soon incorporate a new Group company which will operate in second generation photonics based on nanotechnologies.
Using a tabletop laser, University of Rochester optical scientists have turned pure aluminum, gold.
In an achievement some see as the "holy grail" of nanoscience, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have for the first time used DNA to guide the creation of three-dimensional, ordered, crystalline structures of nanoparticles (particles with dimensions measured in billionths of a meter).
Members of the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE are traveling to Tokyo with bulky luggage these days. Their destination is Nanotech 2008, the world's largest trade fair for nanotechnology. Their solar module, which they will be presenting in the BMBF marketing campaign "Nanotech Germany", is the size and shape of a door: two meters high and sixty centimeters wide.
Researchers at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) in collaboration with Austin-based Stellar Micro Devices, Inc. (SMD) have developed prototypes of a rapid, non-disruptive and less expensive method that could be used to decontaminate bioterrorism hazards in the future.
AMI Semiconductor, a leading designer and manufacturer of state-of-the-art mixed-signal and digital products for the automotive, medical, industrial, aerospace, and high-voltage communication markets, has entered into a new two-year collaboration program with IMEC - Europe's leading independent research center in the field of nanoelectronics - to develop AMI Semiconductor's future Smart Power Technologies.
Millions of nearly invisible wires may hold the answer to making solar cells a more affordable source of alternative energy.
