Despite a sluggish forecast for the overall high-tech industry in the near term, alternative energies technologies are expected to grow at a 40% annual rate through 2012, and semiconductors used in these applications wil...
Researchers at Northeastern created a network of nanowires that can be scaled up more efficiently and cost-effectively to create displays such as the NASDAQ sign in New York City's Times Square.
Using Gallium nit...
Wacker Chemie AG has mid-term plans to construct a new hyperpure polycrystalline silicon facility in the US and has purchased land in the State of Tennessee for this purpose. The Munich-based chemical group announced the...
Lightning is expected to strike at the 79th International Motor Show in Geneva – but only figuratively speaking. LAMPO – "lightning" – is the name of the environmentally friendly sports car prototype that is certain to a...
The £1 million project will look at five major building types (schools, warehouses, offices, supermarkets and mixed use) and will generate fully-costed solutions demonstrating how to achieve the three highest BREEA...
The ability of plants to turn sunlight into energy through photosynthesis has been successfully mimicked by scientists at the University of Southampton to produce a new generation of solar cells.
The Southampton team ...
The project will test the long-term weathering effects on advanced composite materials using NIST’s SPHERE (Simulated Photodegradation via High Energy Radiant Emission), a source of high-intensity ultraviolet rays that accelerates outdoor weathering of polymeric materials and composites.
When squeezed, electrons increase their ability to move around. In compounds
such as semiconductors and electrical insulators, such squeezing can dramatically
change the electrical and magnetic properties.
A team of researchers led by George Barbastathis, associate professor of mechanical
engineering, is developing the basic principles of "nano-origami,"
a new technique that allows engineers to fold nanoscale materials into simple
3-D structures.
Super-thin films of carbon with exotic properties, now taking the scientific world by storm, may soon mean a new era of brighter, faster, and smaller computers, smart phones, and other consumer electronics. Brighter digi...
