Testing, radiation testing: Northwestern transistors on space station
Transistors based on a new kind of material created by Northwestern University researchers have been lifted into outer space on the space shuttle Endeavour and attached to the outside of the International Space Station for radiation testing.   view more (2008-06-11)

Spin-polarized electrons on demand
Many hopes are pinned on spintronics. In the future it could replace electronics, which in the race to produce increasingly rapid computer components, must at sometime reach its limits. Different from electronics, where whole electrons are moved (the digital "one" means "an electron is present on the component", zero means... view more... (2009-01-22)

Launch of the first standard graphical notation for biology
Researchers at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory's European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) and their colleagues in 30 labs worldwide have released a new set of standards for graphically representing biological information - the biology equivalent of the circuit diagram in electronics.   view more (2009-08-12)

New material for nanoscale-computer chips
New data from Chinese-Danish collaboration shows that organic nanoscale wires could be an alternative to silicon in computer chips. The discovery has just been published in the respected scientific journal, Advanced Materials.    view more (2009-08-17)

Paper electrified by copper particles
The Polymer Chemistry Research Group at the University of Helsinki, Finland, has succeeded in producing nano-sized metallic copper particles.   view more (2009-03-16)

ASU researchers improve memory devices using nanotech
Arizona State University's Center for Applied Nanoionics (CANi) has a new take on old memory, one that promises to boost the performance, capacity and battery life of consumer electronics from digital cameras to laptops. Best of all, it is cheap, made from common materials and compatible with just about anything currently on the market.   view more (2007-10-24)

UB Engineers Prove That Carbon Nanotubes Are Superior to Metals for Electronics
In the quest to pack ever-smaller electronic devices more densely with integrated circuits, nanotechnology researchers keep running up against some unpleasant truths: higher current density induces electromigration and thermomigration, phenomena that damage metal conductors and produce heat, which leads to premature failure of devices.   view more (2009-03-23)

University of Miami engineer designs stretchable electronics with a twist
Jizhou Song, a professor in the University of Miami College of Engineering and his collaborators Professor John Rogers, at the University of Illinois and Professor Yonggang Huang, at Northwestern University have developed a new design for stretchable electronics that can be wrapped around complex shapes, without a reduction in electronic function.   view more (2009-01-22)

Paper battery may power electronics in clothing and packaging material
Imagine a gift wrapped in paper you really do treasure and want to carefully fold and save. That's because the wrapping paper lights up with words like "Happy Birthday" or "Happy Holidays," thanks to a built in battery - an amazing battery made out of paper.   view more (2009-09-24)

Penn Researchers Take a Big Step Forward in Making Smaller Circuits
Physicists at the University of Pennsylvania have overcome a major hurdle in the race to create nanotube-based electronics.   view more (2005-08-01)

New microchip technology for medical imaging biomarkers of disease
A collaboration between scientists at UCLA, Caltech, Stanford, Siemens and Fluidigm have developed a new technology using integrated microfluidics chips for simplifying, lowering the cost and diversifying the types of molecules used to image the biology of disease with the medical imaging technology, Positron Emission Tomography (PET).   view more (2005-12-16)

Scientists grow 'nanonets' able to snare added energy transfer
Using two abundant and relatively inexpensive elements, Boston College chemists have produced nanonets, a flexible webbing of nano-scale wires that multiplies surface area critical to improving the performance of the wires in electronics and energy applications.   view more (2008-09-03)

Nanoribbons from sliced open nanotubes: new, faster, more accurate method from Stanford
A world of potential may lie tied up in graphene nanoribbons, particularly for electronics applications. But researchers have been hampered in their efforts to fully explore that potential because they had no reliable way of creating the large quantities of uniform nanoribbons needed to conduct extensive studies.   view more (2009-04-16)

Academy of Finland launches seven new research programmes
The Board of the Academy of Finland has taken the decision to launch seven new research programmes in 2003. A total of EUR 41.3 million has been earmarked for the research programmes. The total allocation will be confirmed when the state budget for 2003 is approved at the end of this year. The seven new research programmes are as follows: the... view more... (2002-11-14)

Move over, silicon: Advances pave way for powerful carbon-based electronics
Bypassing decades-old conventions in making computer chips, Princeton engineers developed a novel way to replace silicon with carbon on large surfaces, clearing the way for new generations of faster, more powerful cell phones, computers and other electronics.   view more (2007-12-19)

Nano surfaces could slash cost of solar energy
Nanotechnologies which can artificially change the optical properties of materials to allow light to be trapped in solar cells could greatly reduce the cost of solar energy.   view more (2005-02-03)

Organic electronics a two-way street, thanks to new plastic semiconductor
Plastic that conducts electricity holds promise for cheaper, thinner and more flexible electronics. This technology is already available in some gadgets -- the new Sony walkman that was introduced earlier this summer and the Microsoft Zune HD music player released last week both incorporate organic light-emitting electronic displays.   view more (2009-08-18)

Snomipede races to solve the mysteries of life
A multi-disciplinary team of scientists from the Universities of Sheffield, Nottingham, Manchester and Glasgow has been awarded a £3m research grant to develop a new nanotechnology tool which they have called the 'Snomipede'. The team, led by Professor Graham Leggett at the University of Sheffield, hopes that once developed, the Snomipede... view more... (2005-02-15)

The clear future of electronics
A group of scientists at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has fabricated a working computer chip that is almost completely clear -- the first of its kind.   view more (2008-12-10)
