Cubic Nanoantennas Eyed for NEMS Biosensors
CLAYTON, Victoria, Australia, Feb. 24, 2015 — Lab-on-a-chip applications could benefit from cubical nanoantennas that direct light more effectively than spherical ones. The cubes, which are composed of insulating rather than conducting or semiconducting materials, are easier to fabricate and...
Hot Tip Leads to Nifty Lithography Technique
ATLANTA, July 20, 2011 — Writing circuits and other tiny structures onto flexible plastic substrates could become more practical with a technique developed by researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology. The method could facilitate high-density, low-cost production of...
'Piezotronic' Logic Device Devised
ATLANTA, Sept. 2, 2010 — Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a new class of electronic logic devices in which current is switched by an electric field generated by the application of mechanical strain to zinc oxide nanowires. The devices, which...
Nano light mill motor controlled by wavelength changes
BERKELEY, Calif. – A newly developed light mill could lead to a whole new crop of nanoscale devices, including nanoscale solar light harvesters, nanoelectromechanical systems, and nanobots that could manipulate DNA and other biological molecules in vivo. ...
Nano-Sized Light Mill Drives Microdisk
BERKELEY, Calif., July 8, 2010 — Researchers have created the first nano-sized light mill motor whose rotational speed and direction can be controlled by tuning the frequency of the incident light waves. STM image shows a gammadion gold light mill nanomotor embedded in a 300...
NEMS Oscillators May Detect Toxins
ITHACA, N.Y., March 18, 2010 - By watching how energy moves across a tiny device Cornell researchers are a step closer to creating extraordinarily tiny sensors that can instantly recognize harmful substances in ...
Suss Joins Sematech Program
Dec 9, 2009 — Suss MicroTec, a supplier of test solutions for the semiconductor industry located in Munich, Germany, and Sematech, an Austin, Texas-based consortium of chipmakers, announced that Suss will join the Front End Processes (FEP) program of Sematech. As...
Sensors on the Frontiers of Physics
Sep 1, 2009 — Computer chips based on light as opposed to electricity have only been theorized, but now researchers are actually developing computer chips that will use light for computer functions. At Yale University in New Haven, Conn., members of Hong...
Nanoscale Mass Spectrometer
PASADENA, Calif., July 23, 2009 – Using devices millionths of a meter in size, physicists at the California Institute of Technology developed a technique to determine the mass of a single molecule in real time.
PECASE Funds Photonics Work
WASHINGTON, July 13, 2009 -- Scientists and engineers focused on photonics-related work were among the 100 named by President Barack Obama as recipients of the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), the highest honor bestowed by the US...
Photonics ‘Wire’ Nanosensors
NEW HAVEN, Conn., April 27, 2009 – Silicon-based nanocantilevers smaller than the wavelength of light eliminate the need for electric transducers and expensive laser setups, a team at Yale University has discovered. The work could usher in a new generation of tools for ultrasensitive...
NEMS Scale Weighs Gold Atom
BERKELEY, Calif., July 29, 2008 – A nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS) has been fashioned that can function as a scale sensitive enough to weigh a single atom of gold. Researchers with Berkeley Lab and the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), were led by Alex...
Nanoscience Pioneer Fraser Stoddart to Join Northwestern Faculty
Aug 20, 2007 — J. Fraser Stoddart, a pioneer in the fields of nanoscience and organic chemistry, will join the Northwestern University faculty as Board of Trustees Professor of Chemistry, the university announced Thursday. He will also direct the university's new...
Grant Funds MEMS/NEMS Work
ATLANTA, Aug. 13, 2007 -- A $1.25 million government grant will allow researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology to join a multiuniversity research effort to develop a computer-aided design (CAD) environment for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and...
NEMS/MEMS Research Center Gets $2M in Funding
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., December 20, 2006 -- A new, three-year, multi-institution nano- and microelectromechanical systems (NEMS/MEMS) research initiative affiliated with Harvard University’s engineering and applied sciences programs has received over $2 million in funds from DARPA and...
Bistable Nanoswitch Developed
EVANSTON, Ill., Oct. 16, 2006 -- A novel carbon nanotube-based nanoelectromechanical switch has been demonstrated that could prove useful in making more technologically advanced memory chips and electronic sensing devices. Carbon nanotubes have been under intense study by...
Beyond 'Nano': A Scale That Weighs Viruses
Apr 7, 2004 — ITHACA, N.Y., April 7 -- Researchers have already been able to detect the mass of a single cell using submicroscopic devices. Now they're zeroing in on viruses. And the scale of their work is becoming so indescribably small, they have moved beyond...
Laser-Operated Nanoguitar Has Electronics, Sensing Apps
Nov 20, 2003 — ITHACA, N.Y., Nov. 20 -- Six years ago, researchers at Cornell University built the world's smallest guitar -- about the size of a red blood cell -- to demonstrate the possibility of manufacturing tiny mechanical devices using techniques originally...
