Insects are full of marvels – and this is certainly the case with a beetle from the Tenebrionind family, found in the extreme conditions of the Namib desert. Now, a team of scientists has demonstrated that such insects can collect dew on their backs – and not just fog as previously thought.
Ceapro Inc., a growth-stage biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of active ingredients for health care and cosmetic industries, announced today that it has been awarded a non-reimbursable grant of $198,000 by Alberta Innovates Bio Solutions (AI Bio) to develop the Company's proprietary Beta Glucan formulation in combination with certain bioactives, for use in an energy drink.
Veeco Instruments Inc. today announced that it has acquired privately held Solid State Equipment Holdings LLC, based in Horsham, Pennsylvania. SSEC is a leading innovator in single wafer wet etch, clean and surface preparation equipment targeting high growth segments in advanced packaging, micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and compound semiconductor.
Entegris, Inc., a leader in yield-enhancing materials and solutions for highly advanced manufacturing environments, announced the release and global availability of their next generation of 450 mm wafer carrier solutions (P2) for the safe and reliable transport of 450 mm wafers used in semiconductor manufacturing.
Whether stubbing a toe or stroking a cat, the sensation of touch starts out as a mechanical force that is then transformed into an electrical signal conveying pain or other sensations. Tiny channels in neurons act as translators by helping to formulate that signal to the brain. However, scientists know little about the fine details of how these channels work.
Altatech, a division of Soitec, has introduced the AltaCVD 3D Memory Cell(TM), a new member of its AltaCVD product line designed to deposit ultra-thin semiconductor films that enable the manufacturing of high-density, low-power memory ICs used throughout mobile electronics.
Stanford engineers have designed and built a prism-like device that can split a beam of light into different colors and bend the light at right angles, a development that could eventually lead to computers that use optics, rather than electricity, to carry data.
Iowa State University and Ames Laboratory researcher is working on the development of next-generation insulation materials for applications in buildings, freezers, refrigerated trucks and other cooling and heating devices.
EV Group (EVG), a leading supplier of wafer bonding and lithography equipment for the MEMS, nanotechnology and semiconductor markets, today announced that it has established the NILPhotonics™ Competence Center, which is designed to assist customers in leveraging EVG's suite of nanoimprint lithography (NIL) solutions to enable new and enhanced products and applications in the field of photonics.
At the 2014 MRS Fall Meeting and Exhibit, Bruker today introduced the NanoForce Nanoindenting and Nanomechanical Testing System to enable new discoveries in nanoscience. Nanomaterials are now found not only in research but increasingly in the product design cycle, and are playing a prominent role in industry.
