Water insolubility is one of the major disadvantages of quantum dots that make them unsuitable for biological and medical applications. To overcome this problem, scientists at the Singapore-based A*STAR agency and at the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology of the University of Twente have created a coating that makes the nano-scale light sources soluble in water.
Scientists at Empa have designed a production method for nanocellulose powder, a raw material used in the production of polymer composites that can be utilized as a filter and membrane material in biomedical applications and in lightweight structures for the automobile market.
While investigating the flow of fluids via nanoscale channels, scientists unexpectedly found that the flow of the fluids is not the same in all directions, which is a contrary behavior to the macroscale world.
Rubicon Technology, a manufacturer of sapphire products and substrates to the Optical, Semiconductor, RFIC and LED markets, has commenced on-site aluminum oxide processing for producing large-diameter sapphire wafers.
In a research led by Kaustav Banerjee, University of California-Santa Barbara’s (UCSB) Electrical and Computer Engineering professor and Director of Nanoelectronics Research Lab, a team of scientists have developed a new method of growing graphene in a restricted manner to make it suitable for large scale use in electronic applications.
CRANN, the Science Foundation Ireland (SFI)-financed nanoscience institution located at Trinity College Dublin, has proclaimed that it has entered into a new strategic collaboration with Ceram, an UK-based company providing materials analysis, testing and consultancy services.
The International Self-Powered Building Council (ISPBC) has certified CleanCoating as the commercial service provider of the XTI-360 Active Shield, which has been developed by XTI02.
