ARM and GLOBALFOUNDRIES have inked a multi-year deal to jointly develop improved system-on-chip solutions to design ARM processors for GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ 20-nm and FinFET process technologies.
Bruker announced today the release of the new PeakForce Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (KPFM) mode for its line of atomic force microscopes (AFMs). PeakForce KPFM™ utilizes frequency-modulation detection to provide the highest spatial resolution Kelvin probe data.
Defect Structure in Nanomaterials from Woodhead Publishing covers a wide range of nanomaterials including metals; alloys; ceramics; diamond and carbon nanotubes and their composite.
Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have discovered that when placed over substrates of different materials, graphene’s basic properties such as chemical reactivity and electrical conductivity vary dramatically based on the characteristics of the underlying material.
Dr Keith McKenna, a physicist from the University of York, has played a major role in an intercontinental research, which contributed in establishing gold’s catalytic properties at a nano level. McKenna was part of a research team which found that the catalytic activity of nanoporous gold (NPG) starts from high amounts of surface defects that are present within its three-dimensional structure.
