Minister for Technology Gordon Rich-Phillips has announced a $10 million plan to support Victorian industry to improve productivity through the use of small technologies.
Associate Professor James F. Ranville, from the Department of Chemistry and Geochemistry at the Colorado School of Mines, is using a Zetasizer Nano ZS from Malvern Panalytical to characterize nanoparticles as part of an ecotoxicology study.
Nano funnels can be used to efficiently concentrate light. Scientists belonging to the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Germany, Georgia State University in the USA and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have used a three-dimensional silver nano funnel to concentrate infrared light pulse energy and have generated extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light flashes from the concentrated energy.
