Miniature Pyramids
The production and characterisation of semiconductor nanostructures Vienna (Austrian Science Fund) - Electronic components, such as transistors on computer chips, are increasingly becoming smaller, while their performance capabilities are growing. It is expected that the dimensions of such components will be in the nanometre range from as early... view more... (2001-09-27)

Industrial collaboration on Uppsala solar cells
In five years' time, the first factory-made solar cell panels developed in Uppsala will be on the market. This can become a reality thanks to a new agreement between three major companies, two investment funds, and a spin-off company from the Uppsala University Ã"¦ngström Solar Center. Swedish solar cell technology has long been on the... view more... (2003-06-27)

New model describes avalanche behavior of superfluid helium
By utilizing ideas developed in disparate fields, from earthquake dynamics to random-field magnets, researchers at the University of Illinois have constructed a model that describes the avalanche-like, phase-slip cascades in the superflow of helium.   view more (2007-04-25)
