Researchers at the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a method to
measure the toughness—the resistance to fracture—of the thin insulating
films that play a critical role in high-performance integrated circuits. The
new technique could help improve the reliability and manufacturability of ICs
and, better yet, it’s one that state-of-the-art microelectronics manufacturers
can use with equipment they already own.
Nanoscience researchers at Lund University in Sweden have shown that they can control the growth and crystal structure of nanowires down to the single atom level.
How this can be done is described in an article to ap...
IBM (NYSE:IBM) Researchers today announced that they demonstrated the operation of graphene field-effect transistors at GHz frequencies, and achieved the highest frequencies reported so far using this novel non-silicon e...
In a series of programs spotlighting innovative local companies, Dutch regional
TV has recently featured Almelo-based analytical X-ray specialists, PANalytical. In one program, students were set a seasonal challenge – to identify which
Christmas chocolate had been contaminated with a sleep-inducing drug.
Researchers at MIT have made significant progress in understanding a class of materials that has resisted analysis for decades. Their findings could lead to the rapid discovery of a variety of useful new kinds of glass m...
Dow Corning
Corporation announced today several billion dollars of investment to provide
critical materials to the fast-growing solar technology industry.
If changing the batteries in the remote control or smoke detector seems like
a chore, imagine having to change hundreds of batteries in sensors scattered
across a busy bridge.
That's why Kansas State University
engineers are helping a semiconductor manufacturer implement its idea of an
energy-harvesting radio.
The Sysmex Flow Particle Image Analyzer FPIA-3000 from Malvern Panalytical is proving to be the ideal tool for monitoring the deterioration
of abrasive slurries used in the wire saw cutting process in solar cell production.
Shin-Etsu
Chemical has begun to market a new type of thermally
conductive phase change material (PCM) called the "PCS-LT Series".
Compared to existing PCM, this new product is softer and thus it is easy to
bond to substrates and is superior in reworkability.
Through their acquisition of the UK-based Technical
Glass Company, Goodfellow
is now able to supply an enhanced range of MACOR glass ceramic products
as both machinable material (rods, plates, bars and discs) and finished components
that are precision-machined to customer specifications.
