Two energy-industry companies are investing in research at Arizona State University’s Advanced Photovoltaics Center. Researchers are exploring uses of nanomaterials and, specifically, “quantum dots,” in technology to more effectively harness solar light for conversion into electrical power and to produce lighting devices that are more durable and energy-efficient that current products. In addition, this next [...]

Samsung Electronics is one of the largest electronics companies that have developed many novel technologies in the area of advanced memory technology and it has recently announced the success of 40-nanometer process technology. The company has started production of eight gigabit fusion memory chip. The name of this new advanced fusion memory chip is kept [...]

At present the global nanocoating market is above US $ 600 million per annum and it is expected that by the year 2013, the market will cross US $ 6.5 billion. The majority of the market currently is “one way” including anti-bacterial, conductive and protective coating, however the research on “ two way” coatings are [...]

Current silicon semiconductors are used in any electronic equipment, however the major disadvantage of silicon chip is that their manufacturing requires lots of energy and also generate huge amount of waste. Although, the silicon semiconductor industry is well established but because of their high cost manufacturing many EU member states have ambitious plan to develop [...]

Understanding the mechanism of heat flow in carbon nanotubes is one of the important task that can lead to many new applications of carbon nanotubes in future nanoelectronics devices. Researchers at IBM have recently announced that they were able to track the heat dissipation into nanotube’s atom vibration and surface vibration.
Actually any electric device get [...]

A two days conference is being organized at the Western Michigan University during March 28-29 on the ethical and social impacts of human enhancement. The conference is funded by WMU (Western Michigan University) and US National Science Foundation and is being organized by Dartmouth College, Delaware University, California Polytechnic State University and Western Michigan University.
Although [...]

The research was carried out by Optomec in collaboration with University of Massachusetts, Brewer Science, In. and researchers were able to fully print carbon nanotube based TFTs having high operating frequencies in the range over 5 gigahertz (GHz) with the help of Aerosol Jet System.
The new technique is a cost effective technique that can produce [...]

Researchers at Texas AgriLife Research are planning to use nanotechnology for detecting plant disease at an early stage so that ton’s of food is protected from the possible outbreak. U.S. Department of Agriculture has provided a grant of $1 million for the next three years and researchers are working to find a solution for protecting [...]
