Size-controllable bulky ligands stabilize multiple bonds of heavy elements into photoactive materials.

Nanobiotechnology is essentially different in many aspects from other areas of nanotechnology such as nanoelectronics or nanomaterials. It is certainly the most complex sub-area of nanotechnology. Last month, EuroNanoBio - a Support Action funded under the 7th Framework Programme of the European Union - has issued its report on a conceptual framework and a tool box to structure the European capacity in nanobiotechnology. The EuroNanoBio partners explored the definition, establishment and further development of a European scale infrastructure on nanobiotechnology and the associated realistic implementation plan. It aimed at defining not only the key features of a potential European infrastructure in nanobiotechnology, but it has also established the way it should be designed.

Silicon Frontline Technology, Inc. (SFT), an Electronic Design Automation (EDA) company in the post-layout verification market , announced today that new versions of its flagship post-layout verification products, F3D (Fast 3D) for fast 3D extraction and R3D (Resistive 3D) for 3D extraction and analysis of large resistive structures like power devices, are shipping now.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and MAPPER Lithography today revealed that a pre-alpha MAPPER tool located on TSMC's Fab 12 GigaFab is repeatedly printing features previously unachievable using current immersion lithography technology.

Xennia Technology, a subsidiary of Royal Ten Cate, presents today its process demonstrator for printing and finishing of textile materials.
