Red, green, and blue lasers have become small and cheap enough to find their way into products ranging from BluRay DVD players to fancy pens, but each color is made with different semiconductor materials and by elaborate...
Minalogic has announced that the Delpix project has enabled the creation of a full X-ray rapid-tomography system for quality inspection on the production line.
Up to now, the brain's magnetic field is measurable only under technical laboratory conditions. This technique is therefore not feasible in terms of the broader medical use, although it would be significant for diagn...
A new bio-inspired approach to synthesising polymers will offer unprecedented control over the final polymer structure and yield advances in nanomedicine, researchers say.
In a study published last week in the presti...

A team of physicists from the Rice University, University of California, Los Angeles, and two Max Planck Institutes in Germany has discovered that electrons violate Landau-Fermi liquid theory only at quantum critical points (QCPs) but behave as explained by the theory on either side of a QCP.
Arradiance has revealed that the United States Patent Office has allowed two basic patent applications that claim the utilization of nanofilm technology, including atomic layer deposition (ALD) films, as the resistive component in microchannel amplification devices.
In accordance with their slot assignments, two member companies of the SEMATECH EMI Partnership comprising TSMC, Samsung Electronics, Intel and GLOBALFOUNDRIES have placed orders to buy AIMS EUV tool, an actinic aerial image metrology solution from Carl Zeiss Semiconductor Metrology Systems (SMS) Division.
