A group of scientists led by Polina Anikeeva, AMAX Assistant Professor in Materials Science and Engineering, recently developed polymer-based neural probes and magnetic nanoparticles to treat neural disorders like paralysis and Parkinson’s by stimulating the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.
A simple, low-cost, single-step approach to grow germanium nanowires from an aqueous solution has been developed by Missouri University of Science and Technology researchers, paving the way to construct improved lithium-ion batteries.
Pittcon is pleased to announce that the 2015 Program Chairman, Hub MacDonald, and colleague Koichiro Matsuda, Horiba Scientific, have organized a session on nanotechnology for presentation at JASIS on September 5, 2014.. JASIS, Asia’s largest analytical and scientific instruments show, will be held September 3-5, 2014, in Makuhari Messe, Japan.
An international research team led by a Berkeley Lab scientist has reported ultrafast charge transfer time of below 50 femtoseconds in photo-excited MX2 heterostructures. This research has established that MX2 materials, which are 2D semiconductors, have excellent optical and electrical properties and are highly promising for potential optoelectronic, photonic and also photovoltaic applications.
Berkeley Lab researchers used state-of-the-art transmission electron microscopes and a sophisticated rapid detection high resolution camera for recording the physical mechanisms monitoring the evolution of flat faces on platinum nanocube surfaces formed in liquids.
High efficiency solar cells, longer-lasting light bulbs, and thermoelectric energy harvesting - these are just some of the end goals of the work Silvija Gradečak is doing at MIT, developing the use of nanomaterials for light harvesting and energy conversion.
A novel method of identifying contaminants on the surface of graphene has been developed, using terahertz spectroscopy and an indium phosphide substrate.
An additional Oxford Instruments PlasmaPro 100 plasma etch system has recently been ordered by the Center for Micro and Nanoscale Research and Fabrication at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) Hefei city, Anhui Province, adding to their already significant installed base of Oxford Instruments leading etch and deposition systems.
2D Materials, a journal of IOP Publishing, has published a study demonstrating the stability of silicene when exposed to oxygen. The two-dimensional material is able to maintain its stability for at least 24 hours.
NPL scientists have demonstrated that graphene devices exhibit a different conductivity at the center when compared to the edges.
