On 1 January 2008 the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) will establish ten new Collaborative Research Centres, which will receive a total of 74.4 million euros in funding over the next four years, as well as a lump sum of 20 percent to cover indirect costs incurred by the projects.
Xidex Corporation, an Austin-based nanotechnology company, has been awarded a new contract from the Department of Energy (DOE) for scaleable manufacturing of carbon nanotube (CNT) based field emission sources for use in scanning electron beam instruments such as scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) and transmission electron microscopes (TEMs).
German research on novel optoelectronic devices and nanostructures is reinforced by a new Center of Excellence funded by the country's National Science Foundation.
The researchers are working on a laser-driven motor that may, in future, provide pinpoint mechanical control even in places where electric motors normally do not work.
During the 2007 Materials Research Society Fall Meeting now taking place at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, Bruker AXS, a leading global provider of advanced X-ray solutions for life and advanced materials sciences, announced the recipient of its 2007 Excellence in X-ray Diffraction (XRD) scholarship -- based on unique experiments performed by university students.
Veeco Instruments Inc., today announced the release of the Wyko(R) NT9100(TM) Optical Profiling System, which delivers the performance and many of the capabilities of Veeco's full-sized profiling systems in a convenient and affordable table-top footprint. The new system is ideal for many applications in research, industrial, quality control, and failure analysis.
Ultrafast electron microscopy reveals switchable nanochannels in materials Microscopic fissures in a tiny crystal open and close-on command. Researchers led by Ahmed H. Zewail successfully used ultrafast electron microscopy (UEM) to observe nanoscopic structures at their “exercises”, as they report in the journal Angewandte Chemie. Such switchable nanochannels could be useful for future nanoelectronics and nanoscopic “machines”.
Competitive Technologies, Inc. and Articulated Technologies, LLC today announced that they have signed an agreement for CTT to license and commercialize Articulated's patented organic light emitting diode (OLED) technology for adaptation to solar power. The agreement provides for revenue sharing between CTT and Articulated of royalty and licensing payments.
When moths fly at night, their eyes need to capture all the light available. To do this, certain species have evolved nanoscopic structures on the surface of their eyes which allow almost no light to reflect off the surface and hence to escape.
DESY celebrates the topping-out ceremony for the experimental hall of PETRA III the new source of especially brilliant X-ray light in Hamburg. On occasion of the structural completion of the building, German Research Minister Dr. Annette Schavan and Hamburg s First Mayor Ole von Beust visited the Helmholtz research centre DESY. Its new light source PETRA III is due to be completed in 2009.
