Elsevier, a world-leading provider of scientific, technical and medical information products and services, today announced the publication of new content on graphene and materials science, including Graphene: Properties, Preparation, Characterisation and Devices by Viera Skakalova and Alan Kaiser. Carbon nanotubes, graphene and nanomaterials are emerging and increasingly important materials with many applications in medicine, computing, optics, energy and materials science.
NJIT Distinguished Professor Somenath Mitra, Ph.D., whose pioneering research has spanned a spectrum of applications for carbon nanotechnology that address critical quality-of-life issues, will receive the seventh annual Board of Overseers Excellence in Research Prize and Medal on Oct. 2, 2014.
One of the most common complaints about solar power is solar panels are still too expensive to be worth the investment. Many researchers have responded by making solar cells, the tile-like components of solar panels that absorb and transfer energy, more efficient and longer lasting.
At the Center for Innovation, Research and Development in Engineering and Technology (CIIDIT), from the Faculty of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at the Autonomous University of Nuevo León (UANL) on the PIIT in the North of Mexico, nanocomposites have been developed for the economical production of instruments directed to the metalworking industry in the region.
Scientists at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Materials Science and Technology Division have developed a novel one-step process using, for the first time in these types of syntheses, potassium superoxide (KO2) to rapidly form oxide nanoparticles from simple salt solutions in water.
If it's true that good things come in small packages, then the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) can now make anyone working with nanoparticles very happy. NIST recently issued Reference Material (RM) 8027, the smallest known reference material ever created for validating measurements of these man-made, ultrafine particles between 1 and 100 nanometers (billionths of a meter) in size.
An Australian startup is using a patented nanotechnology to create 'hydrophobic' chef jackets and aprons. Fabricor says this means uniforms that stay clean for longer, and saving time and money.
Complex oxides have long tantalized the materials science community for their promise in next-generation energy and information technologies. Complex oxide crystals combine oxygen atoms with assorted metals to produce unusual and very desirable properties. Because their electrons interact strongly with their environments, complex oxides are versatile, existing as insulators, metals, magnets, and superconductors. They can tightly couple diverse physical properties, such as stress and strain, magnetism and magnetic order, electric field and polarization.
The Journal of Optics has devoted the front page of its special edition on Mid-infrared and THz Photonics to the work produced by the NUP/UPNA-Public University of Navarre researchers Víctor Pacheco-Peña, Víctor Torres, Miguel Beruete and Miguel Navarro-Cía (former student currently working at Imperial College London), together with Nader Engheta (University of Pennsylvania), one of the world's leading experts in metamaterials. In their research they have proposed various devices capable of redirecting electromagnetic waves with efficiency levels close to 100%.
Alan Hsiung is a young entrepreneur in Taipei who loves exercising and interacting with other people. Every summer, though, he becomes particularly busy, from morning to night, taking care of many things, including answering phone calls, confirming details, scheduling work, and overseeing construction projects. In fact, from the moment he opens his eyes until the moment closes them, he is busy, and weekends and holidays are no exception.
