Using an acoustic metadevice that can influence the acoustic space and can control any of the ways in which waves travel, engineers have demonstrated, for the first time, that it is possible to dynamically alter the geometry of a three-dimensional colloidal crystal in real time.
Objects with sizes in the nanometer range, such as the molecular building blocks of living cells or nanotechnological devices, are continuously exposed to random collisions with surrounding molecules. In such fluctuating environments the fundamental laws of thermodynamics that govern our macroscopic world need to be rewritten.
Chemists at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) have, for the first time, completely analysed the fingerprint region of the Terahertz spectrum of a biologically relevant molecule in water, in this case, an amino acid.
More efficient photovoltaic cells. Improved radar and stealth technology. A new way to recycle waste heat generated by machines into energy.
Tufts University engineers have demonstrated that it is possible to generate nanostructures from silk in an environmentally friendly process that uses water as a developing agent and standard fabrication techniques.
Qlight Nanotech, developer of products based on semiconductor nanocrystals for use in flat panel displays and efficient LED lighting, won the Best Nanotechnology Company of the Year Award at the NanoIsrael 2014 conference. Qlight Nanotech was founded in 2009 by Professor Uri Banin as a spin-off of Yissum, the technology transfer company of Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Research presentations in photonics, optics, lasers, and micro- and nanotechnologies, reports on European Commission photonics funding initiatives, and an expanded technology-transfer programme highlight next month's SPIE Photonics Europe symposium. Sponsored by SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, the event runs 14-17 April at the Square Brussels Meeting Centre.
Wrinkling is a common phenomenon for thin stiff film adhered on soft substrate. Various wrinkling phenomenon has been reported previously. Wu Dan, Yin Yajun, Xie Huimin,et al from Tsinghua University proposed a new method to control wrinkling and buckling of thin stiff film on soft substrate. It is found that the curve pattern on the soft substrate has obvious influence on the wrinkling distribution of the thin film/soft substrate.
Researchers the world round are working to develop optical chips, where light can be controlled with nanostructures. These could be used for future circuits based on light (photons) instead of electron - that is photonics instead of electronics. But it has proved to be impossible to achieve perfect photonic nanostructures: they are inevitably a little bit imperfect.
Nanotech Security Corp. is pleased to announce that it has been selected to design and produce an exclusive event access ID and branding solution for the TED2014 and TEDActive 2014 conferences. Nanotech’s next-generation KolourOptik® nanotechnology will be integrated as a security feature on each participant’s ID badge for both events.
