Researchers Develop Tiny Detectors for Counting Individual Photons

Scientists have developed tiny detectors, referred as single-photon avalanche diodes (SPAD), for counting individual photons on a computer chip. These tiny devices generate a tick sound every time, when they detect a photon and hence, their performance is similar to mini Geiger counters.

BioNanomatrix to Commercialize NanoAnalyzer Platform with Series B Financing

Nanoscale technology developer for single-molecule analysis and imaging, BioNanomatrix announces that a $23.3 Million worth Series B equity financing round has been completed.

TTM, a provider of nanotechnology-based thermal management solutions for various system applications such as solar, battery, automotive, mobile, memory, and LED, announces that it will exhibit two innovative thermal solutions at the Semi Therm conference.

Single-Photon Sources for Optical Communications

A research team at the University of Bristol in the UK has discovered single-photon sources, which will help secure visual communications known as ‘quantum cryptography’.

Photocatalyst Nanotechnology Helps Building Exteriors Retain Reflectivity

Serefex announced today that it has begun marketing a line of exterior photocatalyst nanotechnology through its master distribution agreement with Rochester Hills, MI- based Triton Technology Group.

Charge-Stabilized Nanostructures to Control Inflammation

The anti-inflammatory effects of RNS60, developed by Revalesio, will be demonstrated at the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI) to be held in San Francisco between March 18 and 22.

pIMAGO Nanopolymers for Cost-Effective Cancer Drug Testing

W. Andy Tao, associate professor of biochemistry analytical chemistry and a member of the Purdue Center for Cancer Research team, has developed the pIMAGO nanopolymer to assess the efficacy of cancer drugs against biochemical processes that cause the formation of cancer cells.

Monitored Light Diffusion for Graphene Analysis

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California, Berkeley have discovered a method to monitor quantum routes showing how light diffuses in graphene. Monitored diffusion helps scientists analyze grapheme.
