Research and Markets, leading source for international market research and market data, has announced the addition of the "Nanotech: Making Photovoltaics Possible" report to their offering. Photovoltaics is the technical term for generating electricity from light and today it is fast becoming an important industrial product.
Salad dressing aside, a pile of spinach has more nutritional value than a wedge of iceberg lettuce. That's because darker colors in leafy vegetables are often signs of antioxidants that are thought to have a variety of health benefits. Now a team of plant physiologists has developed a way to make lettuce darker and redder - and therefore healthier - using ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
Multimedia Research Group, Inc., announces a comprehensive global report on emerging thin-film photovoltaic (PV) technologies that will drive improvements in solar energy production for decades to come.
EU-funded researchers have created organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs, novel, bright light sources) that are as efficient as conventional fluorescent tubes. Writing in the journal Nature, the scientists describe the future of OLEDs as 'bright, not only because of their high illumination quality, but also because their outstanding efficiencies will help to reduce our carbon footprint'.
Mitaka Kohki and Digital Surf announced that MitakaMap surface analysis software based upon Digital Surf's Mountains Technology will be supplied with NH-3SP Laser Probe 3D Measuring Equipment and other NH-series instruments from Mitaka Kohki.
Femtosecond lasers (fs-lasers) are the key to ultra-precision processing. Whether in medicine, electronics, aerospace or solar technology, thin coatings can be removed, fiber-reinforced plastics drilled and ceramic components' surfaces structured using fs-lasers.
Somewhat the way Harry Potter can cover himself with a cloak and become invisible, Cornell researchers have developed a device that can make it seem that a bump in a carpet -- or, indeed, any flat surface -- isn't there.
The Knowledge Foundation today released a Program update for the 14th Biodetection Technologies conference which will be held at the Marriott Inner Harbor in Baltimore, MD from June 25-26, 2009.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science has announced that it will fund the creation of 46 Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs) over the next five years, including one that will be housed at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). That EFRC will be headed by Harry Atwater, the Howard Hughes Professor and professor of applied physics and materials science.
For more than a decade, scientists have been frustrated in their attempts to create continuously emitting light sources from individual molecules because of an optical quirk called "blinking," but now scientists at the University of Rochester have uncovered the basic physics behind the phenomenon, and along with researchers at the Eastman Kodak Company, created a nanocrystal that constantly emits light.
