Graphene NanoChem, the performance chemicals and advanced materials company, is pleased to announce the execution of a cooperation agreement with HWV Technologies Pte Ltd (“HWV Technologies”) in designing and...
Many pollutants with the potential to meddle with hormones — with bisphenol A (BPA) as a prime example — are already common in the environment. In an effort to clean up these pollutants found in the soil and waterways, scientists are now reporting a novel way to break them down by recruiting help from nanoparticles and light. The study appears in the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.
High-speed reading of the genetic code should get a boost with the creation of the world’s first graphene nanopores – pores measuring approximately 2 nanometers in diameter – that feature a “built-in” optical antenna. Researchers with Berkeley Lab and the University of California (UC) Berkeley have invented a simple, one-step process for producing these nanopores in a graphene membrane using the photothermal properties of gold nanorods.
ProPlus Design Solutions Inc., the SPICE modeling solutions leader and provider of the first giga-scale SPICE simulator and unique Design-for-Yield (DFY) solutions, today introduced the latest release (2014.2) of the re-innovated BSIMProPlus™, the leading SPICE modeling platform for nanometer devices.
Tango Systems Inc., a leading innovator in high-performance, cost-effective physical vapor deposition (PVD) systems, today announced it has published results for conformal step seed layer coverage for through silicon vias (TSVs) with a15:1 aspect ratio. This significant achievement represents the industry's highest TSV step coverage for interposers and 3D ICs. The results were achieved using Tango's flagship Axcela™ PVD platform.
STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, the world's top MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) manufacturer and the leading supplier of MEMS for consumer and mobile1 as well as automotive applications2, today announced that it had started production of MEMS sensors using its newly qualified, proprietary THELMA60 (60µm Thick Epi-poly Layer for Micro-gyroscopes and Accelerometers) surface-micromachining fabrication process.
Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) today announced it will expand its manufacturing capacity in Chengdu, China, with a 300mm wafer bumping facility. The addition of this manufacturing process in Chengdu further increases TI's 300mm analog capacity and its ability to support customer demand.
Advanced Battery Technologies, Inc., specializing in the design, manufacture and distribution of eco-friendly rechargeable batteries and related light electric vehicle products today announced the launch of a superior fast charging nano lithium titanate battery.
C3Nano, the developer of the nanomaterial-based, solution coat-able transparent conductive material Active-grid™, announced today that it has raised $12M in Series C funding. The round was led by Nagase America Corporation and a yet to be disclosed large-cap global industrial company.
Photosynthesis is one of the most important processes in nature. The complex method by which all green plants harvest sunlight and thereby produce the oxygen in our air is still not fully understood. Researchers have used DESY's X-ray light source PETRA III to investigate a photosynthesis subsystem in a near-natural state.
Artificial platelet mimics developed by a research team from Case Western Reserve University and University of California, Santa Barbara, are able to halt bleeding in mouse models 65 percent faster than nature can on its own.
From water marks to colored threads, governments are constantly adding new features to paper money to stay one step ahead of counterfeiters. Now a longhorn beetle has inspired yet another way to foil cash fraud, as well as to produce colorful, changing billboards and art displays.
Researchers at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Pharmacy have developed a novel mucoadhesive hyaluronic acid (HA) nanofibre delivery system which could help to prevent the transmission of HIV.
