Transistor Technology Breakthrough Makes Electronics Faster & More Powerful
The researchers created a new technology design for field effect transistors, which are basic switching devices in computers and other electronic devices. Those types of transistors also are promising candidates for next generation nanodevices. They can offer better switching behavior for computers and devices compared with traditional field effect transistors.
Rebar Graphene Material Proves To Be Twice As Tough
In a new study in the American Chemical Society journal ACS Nano, Rice materials scientist Jun Lou, graduate student and lead author Emily Hacopian and collaborators, including Tour, stress-tested rebar graphene and found that nanotube rebar diverted and bridged cracks that would otherwise propagate in unreinforced graphene.
New Semiconductor Fab Prepares SK Hynix for Increasing Memory Demand
SK hynix has grown into one of the leading chipmakers in the world through continuous effort to secure a fundamental competitive edge in the fierce semiconductor industry. With the emergence of new entrants and the consolidation of incumbent players, the competition and technological barriers are continuously heightening in the market.
Almac Group Launches GMP High Throughput Peptide Manufacturing Service
Almac has manufactured multiple High Throughput batches of neoantigen derived peptides –branded by Almac as NeoPeptides™ – for compassionate use treatments, and for P-I clinical trials, from its Edinburgh facility. Over the course of the past ten months the facility has been upgraded and segregated to enable GMP supply.
Perovskite Solar Cells Electrify the Solar Cell Community
Perovskite solar cells are currently electrifying the solar cell community. This new, cheap, and easy-to-process material has almost ideal physical properties for converting light into electricity: as it is pitch-black, a very thin layer of less than a thousandth of a millimeter is sufficient to absorb all incident sunlight.
New Biosensors For Implantable Sensing
Biosensors are devices that can detect biological molecules in air, water, or blood. They are widely used in drug development, medical diagnostics, and biological research. The growing need for continuous, real-time monitoring of biomarkers in diseases like diabetes is currently driving efforts to develop efficient and portable biosensor devices.
Nanowires Increase The Accuracy of Measuring Devices
Scientists from Higher school of economics and the Federal Scientific Research Centre ‘Crystallography and Photonics’ have synthesized multi-layered nanowires in order to study their magnetoresistance properties.
Nanomachine Robot Goes To Battle With Tuberculosis
The Brock team’s latest technology builds on an earlier version of the microscopic robot — called the three-dimensional DNA nanomachine — they created in 2016 to detect diseases in a blood sample within 30 minutes.
