Breakthrough in nanotechnology imaging under extremely high pressures   Highly coherent X-rays from synchrotron sources can be used for imaging nanomaterials in 3-D at tens of nanometer of spatial resolution. This image shows a monochromatic hard X-rays patterns from a single crystal gold particle, which produces a speckle-like fringe image. Inverting such “diffraction images” under certain conditions can result in ... Read More »

Sol Voltaics uses nanotechnology to make solar energy 25 percent more efficient Sol Voltaics is announcing today it has used nanotechnology to build solar cell modules that are up to 25 percent more efficient than the cells currently on the market. If the company can deliver its SolInk material as advertised, then it could make it a lot cheaper to introduce ... Read More »
