A research team led by Dr. Noriki Terada from the Neutron Scattering Group of the Quantum Beam Unit at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) and Dr. Yoshihiro Tsujimoto from the NIMS International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (MANA) together with the University of Oxford and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory has demonstrated that it is possible to largely control a magnetic material’s dielectric and magnetic properties by replacing nonmagnetic atoms with other atoms.
Researchers at the University of Illinois have found that the scope of DNA code is not restricted to shaping biological molecules and genetic traits. In experiments conducted by the researchers, the DNA code was found to steer gold nanoparticles to grow into specific shapes.
Research and Markets, the company offering market research solutions, has added the book titled “Nanoelectronics and Information Technology” to its product offering. The book is authored by Rainer Waser and is published by John Wiley and Sons.
Gold is not just the material of choice for pretty jewelry; it is also used in technology, for example in nanoscopic particles for applications such as catalysis, biomedicine, and sensors.
The Molecular Foundry, LBNL, USA & Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology announce their 3rd annual seminar which will once again address the latest research and technologies in plasma etch deposition and growth.
In a paper, author Samuel Stavis from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has described the necessity for the development and implementation of testing standards prior to the full commercialization of lab on a chip technology.
A team of American and Chinese researchers has shown that disk-shaped nanoparticles do not cross the cell membrane but remain attached to the membrane.
Berkeley Design Automation, the provider of nanometer circuit verification solutions, has announced that Teledyne Technologies’ subsidiary, Teledyne Scientific & Imaging has opted for Berkeley’s Analog FastSPICE (AFS) platform for imaging sensor verification.
