NIST Scientists Discover Large-Scale Cousin of Elusive 'Magnetic Monopoles'

Any child can tell you that a magnet has a "north" and a "south" pole, and that if you break it into two pieces, you invariably get two smaller magnets with two poles of their own. But scientists have spent the better part of the last eight decades trying to find, in essence, a magnet with only one pole.

Hi-Res CMOS Image Sensor for High Demand Machine Vision Applications

The new CMOS image sensor CMV2000 announced today by the European startup firm CMOSIS NV headquartered in Antwerpen, Belgium, is designed to run at a frame rate of more than 300 fps at full resolution. CMV2000 will provide 16 LVDS output channels, which can be multiplexed to 8, 4 and 2 channels at a reduced frame rate. The advanced architecture of the CMOSIS sensor allows for row windowing and row sub-sampling, which enables the high frame rate

Novel Micro-Needle Actuator for Prolonged In-Vivo Biomedical Applications

IMEC has developed an actuator that runs on ultra-low power and that is watertight. This innovative combination of characteristics makes the actuator especially suited for use in in-vivo biomedical applications, and, in general, for all applications that need to combine a long autonomy with small batteries. IMEC's prototype has an integrated micro-needle, which can be steered by the actuator.

Novel Nanoimprint Lithography Capable of Precise Nanostructured Devices

Nanoimprinting is an emerging technology that’s been used to produce various electronic and optical devices by imprinting the pattern from a mold onto a surface. But Dr. Hu’s team is exploring how the thermal imprinting can not only impart a pattern to the solar cell material but also change properties of the material in ways that maximize light absorption, increasing the efficiency of the resulting cells well beyond what anyone has done to date with these so-called organic solar cells.
