Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

The U.S. Economic Development Administration has awarded the World Trade Center of Greater Philadelphia a three- year, $1 million grant to help boost energy and technology exports. WTCGP will use the grant to launch a regional economic development program to promote exports and export-related jobs for Greater Philadelphia firms. The programs will target the energy and environment, high tech and ... Read More »

Researchers have overcome a fundamental obstacle in using new “metamaterials” for radical advances in optical technologies, including ultra-powerful microscopes and computers and a possible invisibility cloak. The metamaterials have been plagued by a major limitation: too much light is “lost,” or absorbed by metals such as silver and gold contained in the metamaterials, making them impractical for optical devices. August ... Read More »

The roadmap “The use of nanotechnologies in the manufacturing of Light-emitting diodes” describes the different types of light-emitting devices and compares their possible market future with trends observed currently in the light-emitting diodes (LED) segment. It also shows the most promising directions for further development of LED technology and points out the required support measures which include the development of ... Read More »

Using nanotechnology, researchers can integrate microscopic optical, electronic and biosensing applications to monitor the wearer’s medical conditions. Imagine seeing a readout of your glucose levels — on your contact lenses. That’s what University of Washington researchers are working on. Associate professor Babak Parviz presented the work Tuesday afternoon at the NASA Langley Research Center and Tuesday night at the Virginia ... Read More »

Nanotechnology refers to a broad range of tools, techniques and applications that simply involve particles on the approximate size scale of a few to hundreds of nanometers in diameter. Particles of this size have some unique physicochemical and surface properties that lend themselves to novel uses. Indeed, advocates of nanotechnology suggest that this area of research could contribute to solutions ... Read More »

There have been plenty of shouts and rumors about see-through solar glass, but until now the technology had not reached the point where anyone was ready to begin commercial development. That appears to have changed, as New Energy Technologies, Inc., of Maryland, recently announced that researchers working on its proprietary SolarWindow technology have achieved a series of breakthroughs that will allow ...
