Graphene's Nature Controlled
TROY, N.Y., Jan. 21, 2009 – Researchers now can tune graphene’s electrical properties by growing it on different surfaces, a discovery that could bring the mass production of graphene-based nanoelectronics one step closer to realization. Graphene, a one-atom-thick sheet of...
Coating Boosts Solar Power
TROY, N.Y., Nov. 5, 2008 -- A new antireflective coating boosts the amount of sunlight captured by solar panels and allows those panels to absorb the entire solar spectrum from nearly any angle, overcoming two major hurdles facing solar energy. The discovery moves academia and...
Center Aims for Smarter LEDs
TROY, N.Y., Oct. 8, 2008 -- A new research center that aims to replace existing lighting with smarter and greener LEDs and integrate them with optical wireless communications has been funded by a five-year, $18.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The...
GaN Transistor Bests Silicon
TROY, N.Y., May 13, 2008 -- A new gallium nitride (GaN) -based transistor, the first GaN metal/oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) of its kind, performs better than silicon transistors in high-power and high-temperature electronics. Rensselaer Polytechnic...
Student Awarded for New LED
TROY, N.Y., Feb. 29, 2008 -- A PhD student in electrical, computer and systems engineering who has developed the first polarized LED is the recipient of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) Lemelson-Rensselaer Student Prize. Martin Schubert is the second recipient of...
Nanofluid Apps Expanded
Troy, N.Y., Feb. 20, 2008 -- Liquids embedded with nanoparticles show enhanced performance and stability when exposed to electric fields -- a finding that could lead to new types of miniature camera lenses, cell phone displays and other microscale fluidic devices. The...
Superblack Material Created
TROY, N.Y., Jan. 23, 2008 -- The darkest material ever made by man absorbs more than 99.9 percent of the light that hits it and could one day be used to boost the efficiency of solar energy conversion, infrared sensors and other devices. The material, created by researchers...
Levine Hired as VP Engineering at Candela
Jan 21, 2008 — Medical and cosmetic laser maker Candela Corp. of Wayland, Mass., announced today that Lewis Levine has joined the company as vice president of engineering. “Lew brings over 15 years of engineering and new product development experience within the...
Light Deactivates Anthrax
TROY, N.Y., Dec. 10, 2007 -- A new technique targets specific proteins, such as the dangerous anthrax toxin, and renders them harmless using nothing but light. The method could also be used to create new cancer treatments and antibacterial coatings. Scientists have long...
Stressed CNTs are Reliable
TROY, N.Y., Oct. 24, 2007 -- If blocks of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are squeezed over and over again with the same amount of force, their electrical resistance decreases by a constant amount each time. This reliable relationship gives CNTs a powerful advantage as pressure...
Paper Becomes Power Source
TROY, N.Y., Aug. 15, 2007 -- By weaving black carbon nanotubes into paper, engineers have created printable, flexible batteries that are more resilient than many existing batteries, yet can be cut, folded and worked just like paper. The rechargeable material could find uses in...
Heat-Resistant 'Nanoglue' Creates Superstrong Bond
TROY, N.Y., May 16, 2007 -- By taking a nanolayer of a commercially available glue material and sandwiching it between a thin film of copper and silica, researchers have developed an inexpensive method of bonding materials that don't normally stick together and dramatically...
Rensselaer Professor Michael Shur elected as 2007 IET Fellow
Apr 13, 2007 — Michael Shur, the Patricia W. and C. Sheldon Roberts ’48 Chaired Professor in Solid State Electronics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y., has been promoted to fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), the largest...
Rensselaer Professor Daniel Gall receives NSF Career Award
Mar 1, 2007 — Daniel Gall, assistant professor of materials science and engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y., has been awarded a Faculty Early Career Development Award from the National Science Foundation, given to faculty members at the...
Nanotube Membrane H20 Flow Controlled
Troy, N.Y., Feb. 22, 2007 -- By fusing wet and dry nanotechnologies, a Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute team has found a way to control the flow of water through carbon nanotube membranes with unprecedented precision. Their work could inspire technologies designed to transform...
Student Awarded for Handheld ’T-ray’ Device
TROY, N.Y., Feb. 16, 2007 -- Terahertz rays, or T-rays, have been touted as the next breakthrough in sensing and imaging, but the need for bulky equipment has been an obstacle to the field’s potential. Enter Brian Schulkin, a doctoral student in physics at Rensselaer...
RPI Prof ('Mr. Physics') Philip Casabella Dies
TROY, N.Y., Feb. 9, 2007 -- Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) said this week that the lecture halls and classrooms of its physics, applied physics and astronomy department will never be the same since the death of Philip Casabella, professor and associate chair of the...
Strength of Nanotubes and Nanowires Combined in Hybrid
TROY, N.Y., Jan. 9, 2007 -- Hybrid structures have been created that combine the best properties of carbon nanotubes and metal nanowires and could help overcome some of the hurdles to using nanotubes in computer chips, displays, sensors and other electronic devices. The...
Rensselaer Licenses Microscope Technology to Thorlabs
Dec 13, 2006 — An innovative microscope technology invented by researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y., has been licensed by Thorlabs Inc., a manufacturer of photonics products based in Newton, N.J. The device, called the adaptive scanning...
Supercomputing Equipment to Advance Computational Biology
TROY, N.Y., Dec. 8, 2006 -- Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute said they will continue to advance the frontiers of computational science with the help of IBM’s Blue Gene supercomputer. Awarded under IBM’s Shared University Research (SUR) program, this Blue Gene...
Optically Switchable Material Could Solve Sticky Problem
Troy, N.Y., June 19, 2006 -- Changing a surface from sticky to slippery could now be as easy as flipping a molecular light switch. Researchers have created an "optically switchable" material that alters its surface characteristics when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. The new...
