RPI News
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 manipulation of small volumes of liquid is critical for fluidic digital display devices, optical devices and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) such as lab-on-chip analysis systems. Most research into such systems has been conducted with regular...
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...
Nanotech Expert to Lead Materials Science and Engineering at RPI
Nov 16, 2007 — Materials science expert Robert Hull will join Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, N.Y., in early 2008 to head the School of Engineering’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering, the institute announced this week. He will also...
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...
Shaping Up Carbon Nanotubes
TROY, N.Y., June 13, 2007 -- A new method boosts the density of carbon nanotube bundles by five to 25 times, creating efficient conductors that could one day replace copper as the primary interconnects used on computer chips and even hasten the transition to next-generation 3-D...
NSB to Award RPI’s Jackson
ARLINGTON, Va., March 26, 2007 -- Shirley Ann Jackson, who has led a national movement to respond to what she calls a "quiet crisis" in the science and engineering work force, will receive the Vannevar Bush Award for a lifetime of achievements in scientific research, education and...
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...
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...
RPI Scientist Honored for Carbon Nanotube Research
Nov 15, 2006 — Pulickel Ajayan, the Henry Burlage Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, N.Y., has received the MRS Medal from the Materials Research Society for his carbon nanotube research. Soon after...
New Methods Grow Nanotubes on Metal
TROY, N.Y., Nov. 6, 2006 -- Two new techniques that allow scientists to grow carbon nanotubes directly on metal surfaces of nearly any shape and size could help overcome some of the hurdles to using the supersmall cylinders in computer chips, displays, sensors and many other...
Crystal IS Raises $10.6 Million in Second Round Financing
Aug 31, 2006 — Crystal IS Inc. has raised $10.6 million in its second financing round. The investor syndicate was led by Lux Capital, with participation by Arch Venture Partners, 3i, Credit Suisse, Taiwanese Linkmore Ltd. and Harris & Harris Group. Founded in...
RPI Closing 'Green Gap' in LEDs
RENSSELAER, N.Y., Aug. 28, 2006 -- Researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) has received $1.8 million in federal funding to improve the energy efficiency of green LEDs. As part of the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Solid-State Lighting Program, the team aims to close...
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...
'Nanoskins' Promising as Flexible Electronics
Mar 14, 2006 — TROY, N.Y., March 14, 2006 -- Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) have developed a new process to make flexible “nanoskins” that combine the strength and conductivity of carbon nanotubes with the flexibility of traditional...
