QuantaSol Gains Tech to Boost PVs
Sep 25, 2009 — QuantaSol Ltd. of Kingston-upon-Thames, England, a maker of strain-balanced quantum well solar cells, said it has entered into its first major collaboration. By exclusively licensing advanced materials growth technology from the University of Houston in Texas, the company plans to make its manufacturing process simpler and cheaper, while further improving solar cell efficiency. QuantaSol combines nanostructures – quantum wells of two or more different alloys – to obtain synthetic crystals. The...
Making Nanoparticles in Cells
MUNICH, Germany, June 29, 2009 – Tailor-made nanoparticles that can be used as position lights on cell proteins were realized by scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces. The discovery could one day lead to applications in light sources for display screens...
Laser Zap Brightens Bulbs
ROCHESTER, N.Y., June 1, 2009 -- Firing a beam from an ultrapowerful laser onto the filament of an incandescent bulb can double its brightness without increasing its energy consumption, optics researchers at the University of Rochester announced. The laser process creates a unique...
Photolithography Improved Without UV Light
Apr 30, 2009 — As computer chips become smaller and more powerful, it is important that their features remain precise. The fact that smaller light wavelengths create smaller features has demanded that developers and manufacturers use expensive and difficult to...
Self-Assembled Nanostructure
DURHAM, N.C., Feb. 19, 2009 – By manipulating the magnetization of a liquid solution, researchers from Duke University and the University of Massachusetts Amherst have for the first time coaxed magnetic and nonmagnetic materials to form intricate nanostructures. The resulting...
Gold Nanostars Shine Bright
DURHAM, NC, Nov. 7, 2008 – Tiny gold stars, smaller than a billionth of a meter, may hold the promise for new approaches to medical diagnoses or testing for environmental contaminants. Bioengineers at Duke University have indicated that of all the shapes studied to date,...
SPIE Show Soars
SAN DIEGO, Aug. 14, 2008 – This year’s SPIE Optics+Photonics symposium was the largest meeting of the annual symposium thus far. The show, which ends today, enjoyed sessions on nano and solar technologies, strategies for communication, and solid-state lighting and OLED...

Aug 14, 2008 — This year’s SPIE Optics+Photonics symposium was the largest meeting of the annual symposium thus far. The show, which ends today, enjoyed sessions on nano and solar technologies, strategies for communication, and solid-state lighting and OLED...
Frozen Smoke in 3-D
BERKELEY, Calif., August 1, 2008 – For the first time, scientists have discovered a way to perform high-resolution x-ray diffraction imaging of an aerogel. Sometimes referred to as “frozen smoke,” aerogels are solid nanoscale foams with a sponge-like structures that are riddled by...
Priceless Nanojewels
TEMPE, Ariz., August 1, 2008 – Before light even reaches our eyes, it has to go through a submicroscopic maze of nanostructures in order to deliver dazzling color. While nature achieves this process effortlessly, recreating it has been a bit more challanging – until now....
FEI Titan Awarded at Nano Tech 2008
Mar 25, 2008 — FEI Co. of Hillsboro, Ore., announced that its Titan 80-300 S/TEM (scanning/transmission electron microscope) received the award for technical excellence in evaluation and measurement at Nano Tech 2008, a nanotechnology conference held last month in...
Bacteria Forms Nanotubes
RIVERSIDE, Calif., Dec. 10, 2007 -- Chemists and engineers from the US and Korea have found semiconducting nanotubes produced by living bacteria -- a discovery that could help in the creation of a new generation of nanoelectronic devices. The research team believes this is the...
Buckyball Formation Observed
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Nov. 28, 2007 -- A Sandia National Laboratories researcher looking for flaws in nanotube durability was unexpectedly able to experimentally confirm a hypothesis about how Buckyballs form. “We have now the first direct, in situ, experimental proof of the...
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...
Photonics Researcher Named UBuffalo Vice Provost
Aug 3, 2007 — Alexander N. Cartwright, PhD, professor of electrical engineering in the University at Buffalo (UB) School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, has been appointed UB's vice provost for strategic initiatives, a new position in which he will serve as...
Electrified Liquid Crystals Make Nanorods Stand Up
Aug 1, 2007 — Unlike spherical and otherwise-shaped nanostructures, semiconductor nanorods cause light to polarize along their axis. But without the ability to coordinate their orientation, the nanorods’ special capability cannot be fully utilized. Scientists at...
Nanotech Pioneer to Receive Waterman Award
WASHINGTON, May 14, 2007 -- Nanotechnology expert Peidong Yang will receive the National Science Foundation's (NSF) 2007 Alan T. Waterman Award today in a ceremony at the US State Department. Yang has pioneered research on nanowires, strings of atoms that show promise for a...
Del Mar Photonics to Represent Tekhnoscan in North America
Mar 30, 2007 — Del Mar Photonics Inc. of San Diego will be representing Russia-based Tekhnoscan in the US, Canada and Mexico, it was announced this week. Tekhnoscan manufactures continuous-wave, single-frequency ring titanium:sapphire and dye lasers for atom...
Obstacle to Mass-Producing Microchips Removed
PRINCETON, N.J., Jan. 18, 2007 -- By eliminating tiny air bubbles that form when liquid droplets are molded into intricate circuits, researchers said they are dissolving a sizable obstacle to mass-producing smaller, cheaper microchips. A team at Princeton University led by...
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...
Butterfly Wing is Template for Photonic Structures
ATLANTA, Dec. 12, 2006 -- By replicating the complex micron- and nanometer-scale photonic structures that help give butterfly wings their color, researchers have demonstrated a new technique that uses biotemplates for fabricating nanoscale structures that could serve as...
Ultraintense Laser Blast Creates True 'Black Metal'
Nov. 27, 2006 -- A process involving an incredibly intense burst of laser light that can change the properties of almost any metal to render it black could potentially make everything from fuel cells to a space telescope's detectors more efficient, said the...
