The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has just initiated a project, '3D nanoSIMS - world beating label-free molecular imaging', which could revolutionise medicines research.
Photronics, Inc., a worldwide leader in supplying innovative imaging technology solutions for the global electronics industry, announced today that it has entered into a new five-year revolving credit facility with its existing lenders in the amount of $50 million, with an expansion capability to $75 million, replacing its existing $30 million revolving credit facility due to mature in April 2015.
Thread-like semiconductor structures called nanowires, so thin that they are effectively one-dimensional, show potential as lasers for applications in computing, communications, and sensing.
A $500 “nano-camera” that can operate at the speed of light has been developed by researchers in the MIT Media Lab.
UB faculty member Paras Prasad has received an honorary doctorate from the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden (KTH) for his pioneering work in areas including the use of light-based technologies to address important, global health problems.
Nanotechnology research has progressed into quantum-level systems where electrons, photonics, and even thermal properties can be engineered, enabling new structures and materials with which to create ever-shrinking, ever-faster electronics.
NanoTech Security Corp. (“NTS”), developer of next-generation security and authentication features using patented nano-optical technologies, today announced that its Chief Executive Officer, Doug Blakeway, will present at the Southwest IDEAS Investor Conference on Thursday, November 21, 2013. The conference is being held at the Sheraton Hotel in Dallas, Texas.
North Carolina State University researchers have a developed a technique for efficiently producing nanoscale gold rods in large quantities while simultaneously controlling the dimensions of the nanorods and their optical properties. The optical properties of gold nanorods make them desirable for use in biomedical applications ranging from imaging technologies to cancer treatment.
Researchers have created tiny holograms using a "metasurface" capable of the ultra-efficient control of light, representing a potential new technology for advanced sensors, high-resolution displays and information processing. The metasurface, thousands of V-shaped nanoantennas formed into an ultrathin gold foil, could make possible "planar photonics" devices and optical switches small enough to be integrated into computer chips for information processing, sensing and telecommunications, said Alexander Kildishev, associate research professor of electrical and computer engineering at Purdue University.
One of the most effective, yet underappreciated, human defence mechanisms relies on antimicrobial peptides - short protein fragments that identify bacteria and disrupt their membrane structure to prevent infection. This in-built defence, virtually untouched by evolution, is now giving scientists clues as to how to create better medicines to combat infection.
