Debunking solar energy efficiency measurements
In recent years, developers have been investigating light-harvesting thin film solar panels made from nanotechnology —— and promoting efficiency metrics to make the technology marketable. Now a Tel Aviv University researcher is providing new evidence to challenge recent “charge” measurements for increasing solar panel efficiency. Offering a less expensive, smaller solution than traditional panels, Prof. Eran Rabani of Tel Aviv ... Read More »
In Albany, A Public-Private Hybrid Aims To Bring Nano To The Marketplace
ALBANY, N.Y.—Walk down one 150-foot hallway inside the building known as NanoEast, and you get an immediate sense of what convergence means at the University at Albany’s College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering. Behind one door is a company that builds the clean rooms used to build semiconductors. Keep walking, and a student laboratory comes into view behind a long ... Read More »
Potential opportunities for nanotechnology in electronics manufacturing
Robert Doering, Texas Instruments, Dallas, Texas, USA In common usage, “nanotechnology” refers to structures (i.e., devices) and materials (and processes to fabricate them) that exhibit useful properties resulting from sub-100nm features. Note, however, that a somewhat vague restriction to “qualitatively new” is also usually included. For example, 90nm (or even 30nm) gate-length MOSFETs are not considered “nanotechnology” in many circles. ... Read More »
Researchers inch closer to unlocking potential of synthetic blood
A team of scientists has created particles that closely mirror some of the key properties of red blood cells, potentially helping pave the way for the development of synthetic blood. The new discovery – outlined in a study appearing in the online Early Edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences during the week of Jan. 10, 2011 ... Read More »
