Paper-Thin Compound-Eye Camera
The focal length of a lens means that a camera has to have a certain thickness - or so we might think. Insect eyes show that this need not be the case: A camera chip based on the compound-eye principle can be used for person recognition and is as thin as paper. If people were insects, books on optics would certainly look different. The camera... view more... (2004-07-08)
The Max-Planck Research Prize 2003 rewards an INTAS grantee
INTAS is pleased to congratulate Prof. Klaas Bergmann who, on 26 November 2003, as well as 11 other scientists from Germany, United States, Israel and Canada, won a Max-Planck Research Prize 2003 (Max Planck Forschungspreis fuer Internationale Kooperation 2003). This prize rewards a scientist who carried out, with his co-workers at the University... view more... (2003-12-16)
Nanoscale study gives new insight into heat transfer in biological systems
One of the first things we learn in chemistry class is that solids conduct heat better than liquids. But a new study suggests that in nanoscale materials, this is not necessarily the case. view more (2005-10-21)
Nano-signals get a boost from magnetic spin waves
Researchers have figured out how nanoscale microwave transmitters gain greater signal power than the sum of their parts-a finding that will help in the design of nano-oscillator arrays for possible use as transmitters and receivers in cell phones, radar systems, or computer chips. view more (2006-09-01)
Transforming Nanowires Into Nano-Tools Using Cation Exchange Reactions
A team of engineers from the University of Pennsylvania has transformed simple nanowires into reconfigurable materials and circuits, demonstrating a novel, self-assembling method for chemically creating nanoscale structures that are not possible to grow or obtain otherwise. view more (2009-10-26)
NIST reference materials are 'gold standard' for bio-nanotech research
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued its first reference standards for nanoscale particles targeted for the biomedical research community-literally "gold standards" for labs studying the biological effects of nanoparticles. view more (2008-01-10)
Vision of the future
A revolutionary new invention in optics which will lead to the production of energy efficient, low cost, high performance, large flat screens for information displays, educational displays and ultimately home cinema/TV, could soon be on the way thanks to NESTA (the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts) - the organisation that... view more...
