The Kavli gift will enhance program flexibility and accommodate more scientists due to the institute's growing popularity. UCSB Chancellor Henry Yang praises the gift, calling it a 'lasting impact' on the scientific community.
Researchers at Virginia Tech are exploring the development of new sensor approaches using nanotechnology, aiming to detect DNA and other biological compounds. They also aim to improve computational capacity by understanding electronic transport properties in molecular wires.
A new paper predicts that silicon semiconductors can continue miniaturization for at least two decades, driven by clever engineering and nanotechnology innovations. The researchers identify the fundamental limits governing future miniaturization, including energy requirements and material constraints.
A $2.75 million endowment will enhance Cranfield's research in nanotechnology, enabling the creation of new professorial posts and research fellowships. The donation is seen as a timely boost to support Britain's wealth creation through this key technology.
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has awarded a $10.5 million grant to co-directors David E. Luzzi and Kambiz Pourrezaei, aiming to remaking the region as 'Nanotech Valley.' The Regional Nanotechnology Center will fund interdisciplinary research and promote collaboration between academia and local industries.
Researchers from around the world will gather at Ohio State University for the first comprehensive international conference on micro- and nanotechnology. Highlights include new techniques for building tiny blood vessels in the heart and a skin patch containing microscopic needles that inject medication painlessly.
