Lockheed Martin and Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University (NTU) today announced a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to explore the science of nanotechnology, with special focus on nanocopper and related technologies for the commercial market.
Scientists at Contipro have created materials that can be programmed to function for a specific duration in the body before being fully absorbed. They have also developed the new apparatus 4SPIN, capable of creating structured nanofibers from such materials.
Photo Stencil, LLC, a leading full-service provider of high-performance stencils and tooling, introduces its new Smart-Release™ nano layer stencil coating at IPC APEX Booth #1215. Tests performed at OnCore Manufacturing Services, LLC, Longmont, Colorado, showed that Smart-Release considerably reduced the frequency required for under-screen cleaning on the printer, saving time, money and consumables, reducing defects and contamination, and improving throughput. The test results demonstrated that over 40 prints before cleaning can be reached, with no deterioration in print quality or bridging.
Northwestern University's Chad A. Mirkin, a world-renowned leader in nanotechnology research and its application, has developed a completely new set of building blocks that is based on nanoparticles and DNA. Using these tools, scientists will be able to build -- from the bottom up, just as nature does -- new and useful structures.
When it comes to sticking power under wet conditions, marine mussels are hard to beat. They can adhere to virtually all inorganic and organic surfaces, sustaining their tenacious bonds in saltwater, including turbulent tidal environments.
Free electron lasers (FELs) have proven their worth, but next-generation light sources will have to do better than produce ultrabright x-ray pulses 100 or so times a second. What’s needed is megahertz rep rate, a million times a second. Since it’s electrons that make the x-rays, the only way to achieve that kind of performance is with an electron gun that can deliver tight electron bunches with high charge, high energy, and a very high repetition rate – sources like Berkeley Lab’s futuristic APEX, for which Howard Padmore of the Advanced Light Source (ALS) and his colleagues are designing the photocathodes.
Phillip B. Messersmith, a biomedical engineer at Northwestern University who takes inspiration from nature to develop new materials, will be the featured speaker at the University’s nanotechnology town hall meeting Monday, Feb. 18.
NanoMech Inc. announced today that for the second year in a row the company received the Top Emerging Nano Innovator Award from the NanoBusiness Commercialization Association (NanoBCA), a leading business association dedicated to protecting and promoting the burgeoning nanotechnology industry.
Organic semiconductors hold promise for making low-cost flexible electronics – conceivably video displays that bend like book pages or roll and unroll like posters, or wearable circuitry sewn into uniforms or athletic wear. Researchers have demonstrated the ability to "print" transistors made of organic crystals on flexible plastic sheets, using technology that resembles inkjet or gravure printing.
University at Buffalo engineers have created a more efficient way to catch rainbows, an advancement in photonics that could lead to technological breakthroughs in solar energy, stealth technology and other areas of research.
