Sunlight represents the cleanest, greenest and far and away most abundant of all energy sources, and yet its potential remains woefully under-utilized. High costs have been a major deterrant to the large-scale applications of silicon-based solar cells.
Synopsys, Inc. a world leader in software and IP for semiconductor design, verification and manufacturing, today announced that its IC Validator physical verification product is qualified for TSMC's 40-nm and 65-nm interoperable DRC/LVS runsets, and is immediately available to TSMC customers.
Scientists in Germany have developed a way of smuggling an anti-cancer drug past the protective blood-brain barrier and into brain tumours and metastases using a nanocarrier – a tiny capsule specially designed to p...
Researchers at Queen's University have discovered the method for studying oxygen in large molecular systems. The findings will help in the study of proteins, DNA, RNA and other molecular structures.
Biological mo...
As electronics become smaller and smaller the need to understand nanoscale phenomena becomes greater and greater.
Because materials exhibit different properties at the nanoscale than they do at larger scales, new tech...
Using nanocrystals of cellulose, the main component of pulp and paper, chemistry researchers at the University of British Columbia have created glass films that have applications for energy conservation in building design because of their ability to reflect specific wavelengths of light, such as ultra violet, visible or infrared.
Researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have demonstrated quantum entanglement for a quantum state stored in four spatially distinct atomic memories.
Nanotrope, Inc. announced today that it has been issued United States patent #7,829,272 covering its ground-breaking diagnostic test for influenza and other viral infections.
The patent describes Nanotrope's cellu...
Tiny particles used in a range of everyday products from computers to shampoo can adversely affect the lungs in very different ways, a study has shown.
Research by the University of Edinburgh suggests that industrial ...
Nanostart subsidiary MagForce Nanotechnologies AG a leader in the area of nanotechnology-based cancer treatment, has been selected as the 2010 recipient of the STEP award in the category “product/technology”.
Dr Zhao has the best possible motivation to hunt for a cancer cure, watching relatives suffer from the disease. Forest Lake chemical engineer Chunxia Zhao is researching better methods to deliver life saving drugs to cancer patients at the University of Queensland's Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology.
