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.
University of Southern California (USC) scientists have developed a method to produce stable, low-cost solar cells from nanocrystals. These cells can be printed or painted onto surfaces as they are in the form of a liquid ink. These solar nanocrystals can float in a liquid solution and measure around 4 nm.
