A new report from NanoMarkets LC, a market research firm based here says that silicon nanocrystals and printed forms of silicon will transform electronics over the next decade with new memory, logic, photovoltaic and optoelectronic products enabled by this new technology reaching $2.5 billion in revenue by 2015.
Universities from the UK and Taiwan have joined forces in a project that they hope will combine the nanophotonics expertise of the UK with the industrial links of Taiwan.
In a major feat of nanotechnology engineering researchers from Harvard University have demonstrated a laser with a wide-range of potential applications in chemistry, biology and medicine. Called a quantum cascade (QC) laser nanoantenna, the device is capable of resolving the chemical composition of samples, such as the interior of a cell, with unprecedented detail.
MIT researchers have created a new structured gel that can rapidly change color in response to a variety of stimuli, including temperature, pressure, salt concentration and humidity.
New technology in development at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science could lead to more successful hip and bone replacement surgeries, make better use of solar power and even prevent your computer from overheating.
Organic based solution processable devices are promising to revolutionise the lighting and photovoltaic industries of the future. The move away from traditional inorganic materials is driven not only by cost considerations, but also sustainability issues and life-cycle costs. However, current organic device efficiencies and lifetimes are not high enough for many applications.
Prescient Medical, Inc., a privately held medical device company dedicated to reducing deaths from heart attacks, has unveiled a unique, new catheter-based diagnostic tool, the vPredict(TM) Optical Catheter System, and a new treatment, the vProtect(TM) Luminal Shield, for use in the cardiac catheterization lab.
The plastic laser has come one step closer, with researchers in the US and Japan developing a new way to make luminescent semiconducting polymers emit and confine polarized light. The results could lead to brighter polarized sources for products with LED-type displays, such as portable computers and mobile phones.
NIST researchers have designed and demonstrated a transistor containing quantum dots that can count individual photons. The semiconductor device could be integrated easily into electronics for applications such as quantum key distribution (QKD) for 'unbreakable' encryption using single photons
At the Institut Curie, Simon Scheuring, beneficiary of the Inserm Avenir program and coordinator of the CNRS/Inserm "Atomic force microscopy (AFM) of proteins in native membranes" team, has for the first time observed a diseased tissue at very high resolution using atomic force microscopy (AFM).
