Queensgate Instruments - an Elektron Technology brand - is to unveil its revolutionary new Dual Sensor Technology at this year's European Microscopy Congress (emc2012) from the 16th to 21st of September in Manchester...
The poor durability of light absorbing materials is one of the reasons that hinder the wide adoption of solar energy because they often degrade or overheat over time. To address these challenges, a research team comprising Dr. Mikhail Zamkov of Bowling Green State University and colleagues has developed a technique to produce two inorganic nanocrystals that demonstrate better durability when compared to organic materials.

The discovery of graphene, a material just one atom thick and
possessing exceptional strength and other novel properties, started an
avalanche of research around its use for everything from electronics to
optics to structural materials. But new research suggests that was just
the beginning: A whole family of two-dimensional materials may open up
even broader possibilities for applications that could change many
aspects of modern life.
Research led by the Materials and Surface Science Institute (MSSI) at the University of Limerick has developed a cost effective solution to generate innovative solar energy conversion materials.
Nano Engineered Applications, a company of Innovation Economy, has developed an ‘electronic nose’ prototype that is capable of detecting trace amounts of hazardous airborne substances based on a work by Nosang Myung, a professor at the University of California, Riverside, Bourns College of Engineering.
