Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

The Device Research Laboratory (DRL) (drl.ee.ucla.edu) at the School of Engineering and Applied Science and the Western Institute of Nanoelectronics (WIN) at UCLA are seeking postdoctoral researchers with expertise in spintronics, particularly focusing on (1) magnetic tunnel junction devices, or (2) spin-wave based devices. We are seeking candidates that have expertise in at least two of the following areas: (i) ... Read More »

Bricks, blocks, and steel I-beams — step aside. A new genre of construction materials, made from stuff barely 1/50,000th the width of a human hair, is about to debut in the building of homes, offices, bridges, and other structures. And a new report is highlighting both the potential benefits of these nanomaterials in improving construction materials and the need for ... Read More »

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue University will lead a new research center to improve photovoltaic solar cells as part of a national effort to bring alternative energy technologies to the marketplace. The work is funded by the Semiconductor Research Corporation, a university-research consortium for semiconductors and related technologies. The SRC has established a $5 million energy research initiative, teaming companies ... Read More »

CORVALLIS, Ore. — You’ve heard about solar, wind, even wave power. But now engineers at Oregon State University have found a practical way to generate electricity from human waste. The team of engineers is lead by Frank Chaplen, an associate professor of biological and ecological engineering. He and his team discovered a way to turn waste into electricity much more ...

Applications of Nanotechnology- A general view By- Dr.Ratnam Challa Physicists all over the world are concentrating on application oriented Physics rather than Fundamental Physics. The Physics of the Nanoworld is the latest field of active research in this century. The last few years has seen a gold rush to claim patents at the nanoscale. Over 800 nano-related patents were granted ... Read More »

Modern microprocessors offers not only impressive performance but also often substantial heat emissions. A team of university scientists and industry experts have developed a new cooling technology that uses nanotechnology for cooling even the hottest chips of today. The nanowick technology will make it possible cool microprocessors with heat emissions of 550 watt per squarecentimeter, about 10 times higher than ... Read More »
