Nanotechnology developers seeking to eliminate the risk of releasing defective new products with strict leak rate specifications
incorporating nanotechnology to market can now rely on USON-Innovative
Systems, a newly created joint venture between USON’s best-in-class leak testers and Innovative Products and Equipment’s automation systems expertise.
Physik Instrumente LP, the US operation of piezo and nanopositioning systems manufacturer Physik Instrumente GmbH, will now handle sales, distribution and service of miCos GmbH products for the US, Mexico and Canada effective June 1, 2012.
Oxford Instruments NanoScience is delighted to have successfully installed its 100th Triton Cryogen-free dilution refrigerator. Its new home is the Quantum Nanoelectronics Group from the Catalan Institute of Nanotechnology (ICN), in Barcelona and it will be used to study the electrical and mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes and graphene.
Companies cannot protect workers from nanoparticle exposure unless first they can determine there is a potential problem. To date, the size and cost of existing nanoparticle size
measurement instrumentation has been an impediment to routine industrial measurements. The new NanoScan SMPS Nanoparticle Sizer from TSI Inc. is a small, portable instrument developed to provide an affordable method to measure the size distribution of nanoparticle emissions in the workplace and in research settings.
JPK Instruments, a world-leading manufacturer of nanoanalytic instrumentation for research in life sciences and soft matter, reports on the multi-faceted research projects of Dr Jochen Guck who runs simultaneous research at the Universities of Dresden and Cambridge.
A team of researchers from the Iowa State University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison has determined a novel nanoscale atomic structure in metallic glasses using advanced computational tools and a powerful scanning transmission electron microscope.
Nanotechnology scientists at the University of Connecticut and the University of Michigan have introduced a new version of the well-known ‘packing problem’ dubbed as the ‘filling problem.’
In a paper, ‘Anomalous Nuclear Quantum Effects in Ice,’ reported in the Physical Review Letters journal, a team of scientists from the Stony Brook University Department of Physics & Astronomy and the Department of Condensed Matter Physics at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) has for the first time explained about a mystifying water anomaly in ice.
A major foundry has chosen Nanometrics’ IMPULSE integrated metrology (IM) system and NanoDiffract software for optical critical dimension (OCD) metrology to deploy them for front-end-of-line etch process control in volume production of advanced 2x nm products.
Strong metals have a tendency to be less ductile — unless the metal happens to be a peculiar form of copper known as nanotwinned copper. The crystal structure of nanotwinned copper exhibits many closely-spaced interruptions in an otherwise regular atomic array. These interruptions, despite being termed ‘defects’, actually increase the metal’s strength without reducing its ductility, making it attractive for applications such as semiconductor devices and thin film coatings. However, the relationship between the properties of these defects and those of the metals containing defects remains unclear.
