Northwestern University engineers have developed a silicon-graphene composite electrode that makes lithium-ion batteries to retain their charge for a period of 10 folds more than that of the existing technology and also allows them to be recharged 10 folds quicker than the existing batteries.
The University of Manchester has received a portion of a £4.5 million grant based upon its microscopy research capability. The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) has awarded the grant to the SuperSTEM consortium comprising the Universities of Manchester, Oxford, Liverpool, Glasgow and headed by the University of Leeds.
Scientists at the Nanotechnology Research Center of the Georgia Institute of Technology have for the first time directly compared two basic techniques that can be utilized for chemically doping two-dimensional graphene sheets for the production of interconnects and devices.
A review article, ‘Klein Tunneling in Graphene: Optics with Massless Electrons,’ written by J.N. Fuchs and P.E. Allain of the Université Paris-Sud in the European Physical Journal, discusses the hypothetical and experimental findings to date on tunneling of electrons via energy barriers in one-carbon-atom-thick material called graphene.
Industrial Nanotech has expanded its patented Nansulate series of protective, energy saving and hi-tech insulation coatings with the introduction of a new protective coating product called Nansulate Cool Ride to decrease surface temperatures of exhausts of all-terrain vehicles, motorbikes and sport bikes.
Nanotechnology can resolve issues that were believed unsolvable, according to a recent article titled ‘Big Innovations from Small Science’ written by Scott Rickert, Nanofilm’s President and Chief Executive Officer, in the Ceramic Industry magazine.
An Empa research study on nanomaterials for example, carbon nanotubes has revealed that carbon nanotubes inhibit the growth of green algae by reducing the amount of space and light supplied to the plant but the material does not affect the plant lethally.
NanoH2O, a producer of economical and efficient reverse osmosis membranes for desalination of seawater, has declared that it has been presented the 2011 Aquatech Innovation Award for its thin-film nanocomposite QuantumFlux RO membrane under the category of ‘Water Supply’ at Aquatech Amsterdam Exhibition conducted from 1 to 4 November 2011 in Amsterdam.
A multi-year collaboration has led to a reduction in the development time for MEMS devices by 50%. Silex Microsystems, a pure-play MEMS foundry, and AMFitzgerald, a provider of solutions for MEMS product development have partnered in the collaboration.
The Lewis University in Illinois and Pall, a provider of filtration, separation and purification solutions for fluid management in life sciences had recently conducted a research study on the filtration science of nanoparticles.
