Nanopoint Inc., an award-winning developer of cellTRAY® Fluidics and Imaging System products, is announcing positive validation of its Model CT-2000 from early customers who range professionally from microfluidics system experts to award-winning pharmaceutical researchers.
Scientists have developed electrically powered semiconductor laser diodes that operate at a shorter wavelength than any others used today. The lasers, described online this week in Nature Photonics ("A 342-nm ultraviolet AlGaN multiplequantum-well laser diode"), could be used for the next generation of optical storage systems following today's Blu-ray disks, and will have applications in biomedicine, materials processing and microchip manufacture.
HelioVolt Corporation, a producer of highly-efficient thin film solar energy products, today announced that it has garnered an R&D 100 Award from Research + Development (R&D) Magazine for work performed in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
Recent progress in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) research and development, which use innovative light-harvesting dye (the "sensitizer") to improve the optical absorption coefficient of the stained nanostructured electrodes, might color our dimming future energy security with a tint of rose, despite the looming depletion of fossil fuels. Costing only 10~20% as its silicon counterparts, the new devices might make it affordable for much more people to utilize solar energy, a handy renewable energy source.
Today, Applied Materials held a groundbreaking for an expansion project of its Tainan Manufacturing Center. This expansion, with a total investment estimated at around US$17 million, will increase the company's ability to meet the demand for both its AKT flat panel display equipment and SunFabTM Thin Film Solar manufacturing equipment. The new facility is expected to be completed by the middle of next year.
Ingrain, the Houston-based rock physics company, will provide geoscientists exquisite insight into the base properties of reservoir rock samples with its recent acquisition of a revolutionary NanoXCT imaging device.
Sandia National Laboratories will demonstrate a new hyperspectral confocal fluorescence microscope Friday, Aug. 8 from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. MDT in Bldg. 897 on Kirtland Air Force Base. This patent-protected and patent-pending technology has been combined with Sandia's unique and proprietary multivariate algorithms and software to form a complete system for the extraction of quantitative image information from hyperspectral images.
A new report from NanoMarkets, a leading industry analyst firm based here, predicts that the market for building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) will reach more than $4.0 billion in revenues ($US) by 2013 and surpassing $8 billion in 2015.
On Wednesday 23 July, TU Delft will be presenting the minute DelFly Micro air vehicle. This successor to the DelFly I and II weighs barely 3 grams, and with its flapping wings is very similar to a dragonfly. Ultra-small, remote-controlled micro aircraft with cameras, such as this DelFly, may well be used in the future for observation flights in difficult-to-reach or dangerous areas. The DelFly Micro will make a short demonstration flight during the presentation.
Carl Zeiss SMT yesterday was presented with a 2008 Editors' Choice Best Product Award from Semiconductor International magazine in recognition of the revolutionary break-through performance of its ORION(TM) Helium Ion Microscope. The Best Product Awards are presented annually to acknowledge those products that deliver the level of excellence needed to succeed in today's and tomorrow's semiconductor industry.
