(2008-07-02) Argonne researcher studies what makes quantum dots blink In order to learn more about the origins of quantum dot blinking, researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory, the University of Chicago and the California Institute of Technology have developed a method to characterize it on faster time scales than have previously been accessed. (2007-10-05) Nanoparticles unlock the future of superalloy metals Sandia National Laboratories is pioneering the future of superalloy materials by advancing the science behind how those superalloys are made. (2007-06-14) Paint-on semiconductor outperforms chips Researchers at the University of Toronto have created a semiconductor device that outperforms today's conventional chips — and they made it simply by painting a liquid onto a piece of glass. (2006-07-13) Discovery of 'doping' mechanism in semiconductor nanocrystals Novel electronic devices based upon nanotechnology may soon be realized due to a new understanding of how impurities, or 'dopants,' can be intentionally incorporated into semiconductor nanocrystals. (2005-07-11) Gold-tipped nanocrystals developed by Hebrew University researchers "Nanodumbells" - gold-tipped nanocrystals which can be used as highly-efficient building blocks for devices in the emerging nanotechnology revolution - have been developed by researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. The technology, developed by a research group headed by Prof. Uri Banin of the Department of Physical Chemistry and the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology of the Hebrew University, is described in an article in the current issue of Science magazine. The nanodumbells - shaped somewhat like mini-weightlifting bars - offer a solution to problems of building new, nanocrystal transistors, the basic component of computer chips. Semiconductor nanocrystals are (2004-06-17) Press release from Nature and the Nature Research Journals This Press Release contains: ·Summaries of newsworthy papers: NANOSCALE ARMS CONTROL - Nature Materials STEPMOTHER OF PEARL - Nature Materials COMBINATION VACCINE DELIVERS DOUBLE BLOW - Nature Medicine STEM CELL ENGRAFTMENT SUCCESS DOES NOT ENSURE LONG-TERM SURVIVAL - Nature Immunology Mention of papers to be published at the same time with the same embargo ·Geographical listing of authors NATURE MATERIALS(http://www.nature.com/naturematerials) [1] NANOSCALE ARMS CONTROL DOI: 10.1038/nmat902 (http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nmat902) Some of the tiniest structures over which scientists exert control, such as nanowires and nanocrystals, are key building blocks for the future development of nan (2003-05-27) The Semiconductor Devices of the Future When physicists sandwiched together different types of semiconductor to create the first transistor in 1947, they made bulky vacuum valves obsolete and so revolutionised the electronics industry. Since then researchers have been pushing the boundaries of semiconductor technology hoping for another revolution. At the 26th International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors in Edinburgh from 29 July to 2 August, progress towards ultra-high density magnetic recording, and a new branch of nanotechnology are among the highlights of the cutting-edge semiconductor research being presented. Nanotechnology is the science of making new materials - and structures like minute electronic devices l (2002-07-23) |
