A team of scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has successfully developed a method to chemically exfoliate molybdenum disulfide crystals, a class of chalcogenide compounds, into high quality monolayer flakes, with higher yield and larger flake size than current methods. The exfoliated flakes can be made into a printable solution, which can be applied in printable photonics and electronics.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Thin-film Batteries (TFB) Market" report to their offering.
In future, thin-film heating will allow plastic parts to be produced with greatly improved surface quality. Researchers have also found a way to make the whole process more energy efficient.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Recycling Nanomaterials - Recovery, Life Cycle Analysis and Transforming Waste into High-Value Applications" report to their offering.
A recently released technology report titled Nano-solutions for the 21st century outlines nanotech-based solutions to global challenges. Several years in the making, the report was co-authored by Dennis Pamlin, Research Fellow at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Research Center for Sustainable Development (RCSD web site currently in Chinese only), and Eric Drexler, Academic Visitor with the Oxford Martin School’s Programme on the Impacts of Future Technology and author of Radical Abundance. The report has a strongly international perspective, and the Abstract is presented in both English and Chinese.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "2013 Report on the International Nanocomposites (Carbon Nanotubes, Polymer Metal Fiber, Nanofibers, Graphene, Nanoplatelet And Others) Market - Includes Forecasts to 2018" report to their offering.
Based on its recent research on the thermal management solutions for the LED lighting market, Frost & Sullivan presents Cambridge Nanotherm with the 2013 European Frost & Sullivan Award for Technology Innovation. Trends in the light emitting diode (LED) market point to a shift from costly ceramic–based substrates to basic aluminium-based substrates for better thermal management.
Electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets spur on a scientific race to find smaller and smaller information processing and storage elements. One of the challenges in this race is to reproduce certain magnetic effects at nanometre scale.
LiqTech International, Inc. ("LiqTech") is pleased to announce that LiqTech received an additional order for SiC membranes valued at USD 370,000 by Danish company Provital Solutions. The purchase order was placed by Provital Solutions as a consequence of additional system orders for 2014, and thus adding to the USD 500,000 order received earlier this year. The SiC membranes will be delivered over the next 12 months.
Three stakeholder groups agree that regulators are not adequately prepared to manage the risks posed by nanotechnology, according to a paper published in the peer-reviewed journal PLOS One. In a survey of nano-scientists and engineers, nano-environmental health and safety scientists, and regulators, researchers at the UCSB Center for Nanotechnology in Society (CNS) and at the University of British Columbia found that those who perceive the risks posed by nanotechnology as "novel" are more likely to believe that regulators are unprepared.
