A way of using nanoparticles to investigate the mechanisms underlying 'mystery' cases of infertility has been developed by scientists at Oxford University.
Using foam substrates, EPFL scientists were able to make a flexible electronic circuit board. This discovery could lead to the creation of deformable and stretchable circuits.
Stanford University scientists have created a silicon-based water splitter that is both low-cost and corrosion-free. The novel device – a silicon semiconductor coated in an ultrathin layer of nickel – could help pave the way for large-scale production of clean hydrogen fuel from sunlight, according to the scientists. Their results are published in the Nov. 15 issue of the journal Science.
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.
When it comes to the growth of graphene — an ultrathin, ultrastrong, all-carbon material — it is survival of the fittest, according to researchers at The University of Texas at Austin.
The promise of nanoscale science is that useful and unprecedented properties appear when materials are shrunk to the size of 100 nanometers or less. Now, Penn State and the Materials Research Institute have launched a center to discover what new properties can be created when atom-thick 2-dimensional layers of elemental materials and chemical compounds are formed or when those layers are built up into completely new 3-dimensional structures.
Advenira Enterprises Inc., a developer of Solution Derived Nanocomposite (SDN™) coating technology, announced that it has recently executed a joint development agreement (JDA) with Novomet, a Russian company that supplies oil mining equipment throughout the world. Under the agreement Advenira will provide coatings for submersible pumping systems developed by Novomet.
According to a new theory by Rice University scientists, imperfections in certain two-dimensional materials create the conditions by which nanoscale magnetic fields arise.
FibeRio Technology Corporation – The Force For Nanofibers – has introduced MERV 15 and HEPA grade nanofiber filtration media from Forcespinning® technology that it is displaying in its booth at the INDA Filtration 2013 tradeshow.
As Green Technology Solutions Inc. and electronic-waste export partner Chilerecicla begin extracting rare earths and other materials from waste, a new technology in the Far East could open up new revenue streams.
