Based in Armonk, N.Y., and ETH Zurich, a science and engineering university in Switzerland, have opened the Binnig and Rohrer Nanotechnology Center on the campus of IBM Research – Zurich. The facility is the centerpiece of a 10-year partnership in nanoscience between the organizations. There, scientists will research nanoscale structures and devices to advance energy and information technologies. Offering noise-free labs and a large cleanroom, the building represents an investment of $60 million in infrastructure costs and an additional $30 million for tooling and equipment.Read full article

    Glossary
    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    optoelectronics
    Optoelectronics is a branch of electronics that focuses on the study and application of devices and systems that use light and its interactions with different materials. The term "optoelectronics" is a combination of "optics" and "electronics," reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of this field. Optoelectronic devices convert electrical signals into optical signals or vice versa, making them crucial in various technologies. Some key components and applications of optoelectronics include: ...
