Researchers have discovered self-assembly technologies that make nanoparticles to arrange themselves in a controlled manner resulting in unique materials with distinct transport, mechanical, optical and electrical properties.
A team of researchers at the University of Pennsylvania has won the National Science Foundation (NSF)’s Innovation Corps award, which recognizes research work that has the prospects for commercial uses and links researchers to entrepreneurial resources.
Dispersing the nanoparticles of a substance into a gas, their count and size distribution can be detected. However, certain nanoparticles have the tendency to form aggregates due to the change in the surrounding conditions.
MIT researchers have revealed that graphene can generate electric current in uncommon ways when sparked by the energy of light. The finding paves way to a novel method for electricity production from sunlight and enhances night-vision systems and photodetectors.
IBM Research has won the first prize in the Global Nano Innovation Contest sponsored by the Industrial Technology Research Institute for its work titled, ‘Graphene Nanoelectronics: Wafer Scale Single Atomic Layer Carbon RF Devices and Circuits’.
Nanoco Group, a developer and producer of cadmium-free quantum dots and nanomaterials, and Tokyo Electron, a leading equipment supplier in Japan, have inked a further agreement subsequent to the end of the first phase of a solar film development based on nanomaterials.
Dr. Hengzhi Wang and Zhifeng Ren, researchers at Boston College, have found two early stages of carbon nanotube growth when using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition method.
A research team led by Stephan Link of Rice University Laboratory has found a method to manipulate light dispersed by gold nanorods utilizing liquid crystals. This method paves the way to fabricate metamaterials with unique optical properties, which can be manipulated actively.
A three-year grant worth just over $1 million will be shared by the scientists at the Arkansas State University and University of Arkansas to conduct research on the use of semiconductor and metallic nanoparticles in the production of solar cells that are used as power source in satellites and spacecrafts.
Georgia Institute of Technology researchers have for the first time described their ‘confinement controlled sublimation’ method for fabricating superior quality large-area layers of epitaxial graphene on silicon carbide wafers in the Early Edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal.
