The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) scientists have replaced the superconducting material used in its single-photon detector with a new tungsten-silicon alloy, which increased the efficacy of the detector as well as its sensitivity to light with longer wavelengths.
SouthWest NanoTechnologies Inc. (SWeNT), a leading manufacturer of single-wall and specialty multi-wall carbon nanotubes, has been awarded a two-year, $500,000 grant from the Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Scienc...
With these two launches Phenom-World further extends the usability of the Phenom G2 desktop SEM’s. Giving the opportunity to image vacuum-sensitive and vulnerable samples without damaging the sample structure by using the Temperature Controlled Sample Holder. Secondly the new version of Fibermetric is able to take the analysis of fibers and filter to an even higher level.
Photolithography is a common method for producing computer chips. But the visible light wavelength reduces the transistor’s size produced using this method.
