New Collaborative Research Center on Nanodimensional Polymer Therapeutics for Tumor Therapy

The German Research Foundation (DFG) has established a new Collaborative Research Center on "Nanodimensional polymer therapeutics for tumor therapy" (CRC 1066) at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research (MPI-P).

Graphene Stitched Together from Crystalline Grains is Almost as Strong as Graphene in Perfect Crystalline Form

In a new study, published in Science May 31, 2013, Columbia Engineering researchers demonstrate that graphene, even if stitched together from many small crystalline grains, is almost as strong as graphene in its perfect crystalline form. This work resolves a contradiction between theoretical simulations, which predicted that grain boundaries can be strong, and earlier experiments, which indicated that they were much weaker than the perfect lattice.

Magnetic Force Microscopy Helps Observe Skyrmions

A physical particle postulated 80 years ago, could provide a decisive step toward the realization of novel, highly efficient data storage devices. Scientists at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM), the Technische Universitaet Dresden and the University of Cologne found that with magnetic monopoles in magnetic vortices, called skyrmions, information can be written and erased.

TSMC Implements Analog FastSPICE Mega Silicon-Accurate Circuit Simulator for Memory IP Verification

Berkeley Design Automation, Inc., provider of the world’s fastest nanometer circuit verification, today announced that TSMC is using Analog FastSPICE Mega (AFS Mega™) for memory IP verification. Memory IP circuits implemented in 16-nm and smaller FinFET-based process nodes must meet stringent performance targets while requiring six-sigma bit cell yield to meet cost and power targets.

Nanotech Web Entangles and Traps Bed Bugs

Bed bugs now need to watch their step. Researchers at Stony Brook University have developed a safe, non-chemical resource that literally stops bed bugs in their tracks. This innovative new technology acts as a man-made web consisting of microfibers 50 times thinner than a human hair which entangle and trap bed bugs and other insects. This patent-pending technology is being commercialized by Fibertrap, a private company that employs non-toxic pest control methods.
