Many human-made pollutants in the environment resist degradation through natural processes, and disrupt hormonal and other systems in mammals and other animals. Removing these toxic materials — which include pesticides and endocrine disruptors such as bisphenol A (BPA) — with existing methods is often expensive and time-consuming.
From wet chemistry to computer simulations, this year's Materials Processing Center-Center for Materials Science and Engineering Summer Scholars are engaged in MIT research projects targeting stronger materials, more efficient drug delivery, and catalysts for biofuel production.
Researchers have developed an innovative technique that makes it possible to self-organize and customize complicated structures at the nanoscale. This breakthrough was facilitated through an international collaboration headed by IBM and the University of Cambridge. The study paves the way to customize material properties and functionalities for a variety of semiconductor device applications.
University at Buffalo engineers have been awarded an $800,000 grant by the Office of Naval Research to create narrow strips of graphene called nanoribbons, which can be a probable solution for how power can be controlled in ships, smartphones and other electronic gadgets.
Nanotechnology is a growing interdisciplinary technology that is often seen as a new industrial revolution. Nanotechnology is increasingly attracting worldwide attention owing to its wide range of end-uses. As nanotechnology is evolving, so is the scope for its commercial expansion.
Intevac, Inc., a leading supplier of thin-film deposition equipment, today announced that a new Tier 1 display customer has ordered a VERTEXTM Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) system. Scheduled to ship in the fourth quarter of 2015, this system will be used to provide enhanced scratch protection on mobile device displays, camera lenses, and glass covers.
Scientists at FOM Foundation and Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) have developed a novel solar cell prototype that generates fuel instead of electricity.
Scientists from Max Plank and EPFL have discovered a new nanoscale effect in the interplay between a quantized metallic system and adsorbed molecules.
II]VI Incorporated ] II]VI Advanced Materials, a world leading supplier of single crystal SiC (silicon carbide) substrates and CVD]grown polycrystalline diamond materials, recently exhibited the worldfs first 200mm diameter SiC wafer at the 2015 Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology (CS MANTECH) conference in Scottsdale, AZ and the International SiC Power Electronics Applications Workshop (ISiCPEAW) in Stockholm, Sweden.
Just as proteins are one of the basic building blocks of biology, nanoparticles can serve as the basic building blocks for next generation materials. In keeping with this parallel between biology and nanotechnology, a proven technique for determining the three dimensional structures of individual proteins has been adapted to determine the 3D structures of individual nanoparticles in solution.
