Nanosys has announced an agreement with LG Innotek (LGIT) to use Nanosys' quantum dot phosphors in displays.
"Nanosys' Quantum Rail technology is a solution ready for integration into backlight sub-assemblies without major tooling changes, making it our first choice for our next generation high color gamut displays," says LG Innotek vice president Charlie (Cheol-Kee) Hong.
"[This] indicates [...]
Nanosys has developed a way to make LED lighting look better by adding nanomaterials to blue LEDs.
"Their efforts have created an LED light that combines the energy efficiency of a blue LED with a nanotechnology layer that alters its blue appearance into a warm white light that is better than standard LED lighting," writes Geek.com's [...]

Professor Alexander Seifalian of University College London has developed an articial artery using nanotechnology.
"[The] new device is made from a polymer flexible enough to pulse like a normal blood vessel," according to ZeeNews. "Inside, it has a revolutionary coating of millions of tiny spikes, each thousands of times smaller than the width [...]
Liquidia Technologies will receive approximately $3 million in funding from the National Institue of Standards and Technology (NIST) as part of the NIST's Technology Innovation Program (TIP).
The funds will be used towards further development of the company's PRINT manufacturing process, which is used to produce precisely engineered particles for safe and efficient delivery of vaccines [...]

A team of researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has been awarded a $10.1 million, five-year grant by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
The team, led by mechanical engineering professor Xiaochun Li, is exploring ways to implement nanotechnology into the traditional casting industry, with the hope of yielding high-quality aluminum and magnesium [...]
The UK’s National Physical Laboratory has created the world’s smallest snowman, measuring 10 µm across.
"This minuscule model — about a fifth the width of a human hair — is not made out of snow," writes DVICE’s Charlie White. "It’s constructed of two tiny tin beads that are usually used to calibrate an electron microscope, and [...]
Stanford University researchers have developed a method of turning paper into ultra-lightweight, bendable batteries.
"The paper batteries are designed to be folded, crumpled or even soaked in an acidic solution and still work, according to Yi Cui, assistant professor of materials science and engineering… at Stanford," writes Computerworld’s Sharon Gaudin. "The team created the batteries by [...]
