Researchers often work with a narrow range of compounds when making organic electronics, such as solar panels, light emitting diodes and transistors. Professor Tim Bender and Ph.D. Candidate Graham Morse of U of T’s Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry have uncovered compounds that exhibit unique and novel electro-chemical properties.

Event is one of the highlights of CNSE’s fourth annual celebration of ‘NANOvember’.

A solid explosive with an energy density equivalent to that of nitroglycerine: this is the composite material produced by researchers in France.

A breakthrough in components for next-generation batteries could come from special materials that transform their structure to perform better over time.

A nanocomposite hard probe inserted in the cerebral cortex of a rat model turns nearly as pliable as the surrounding gray matter in minutes, and induces less of the tough scarring that walls off hard probes that do not change, researchers at Case Western Reserve University have found.

In October this year, Beneq, together with the Shanghai Center for Photovoltaics (SCPV), hosted an invitation-only specialist seminar for executive level decision makers and experts in photovoltaics.

The 12th edition of the Trends in Nanotechnology International Conference (TNT2011) will take place between 21 and 25 of November in Canary Islands (Spain).

Researchers from the NIST Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology have led the development of a new technique for efficiently out-coupling photons from epitaxially-grown quantum dots directly into a standard single-mode optical fiber.

The institute acquired an automatic TEL wafer prober in order to meet the requirements of latest measuring tasks related to capacity, quality and positioning accuracy within a large temperature range. Moreover future wafer test and characterization requirements will be developed and verified by means of an additional system.

An EU-funded project investigates 11-nm FinFET variability and its impact on embedded memories.

RUSNANO is joining a project that will produce cosmetics based on double encapsulation technology.

Imec and its project partners announce the launch of IMOLA (Intelligent light Management for OLED on foil Applications), a project under the EU’s 7th framework program for ICT (FP7).

The highest performing, acoustic dampening enclosure ever released by Herzan – the environment solutions provider to the precision research market.

Physicists from the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a theory that describes, in a unified manner, the coexistence of liquid and pinned solid phases of electrons in two dimensions under the influence of a magnetic field.

Insects can run up walls, hang from ceilings, and perform other amazing feats that have for centuries fascinated human observers. Now scientists from the Zoological Institute at the University of Kiel, in Germany, who have been studying these able acrobats, have borrowed some of the insects’ tricks to make a dry tape that can be repeatedly peeled off without losing its adhesive properties.

Researchers at the University of Twente describe a novel method to fabricate 3D structures in silicon.

The results of the Phase 2 program sponsored by Iroko Pharmaceuticals to develop novel, lower-dose formulations of a widely used class of pain medicines will be reported November 7th at the annual meeting of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) in Chicago.

Mentor Graphics Corporation today announced the successful tapeout of a 20 nm test chip in collaboration with STMicroelectronics, marking a significant milestone in the development of a complete Mentor design-to-silicon solution for next-generation process technology.

The Basque Department of Industry, Innovation, Trade and Tourism has released a new website – nanoBasque.

An Empa study shows that while CNTs do not have toxic effects on green algae they do inhibit its growth by depriving the plant of light and space.
