Coral-Shaped Nanoparticles Built Using Engineered Peptoids
Coral-shaped nanoparticles built by design using engineered peptoids. Scientists manipulate shapes while enhancing optical properties of tiny particles.Researchers have long worked to address a grand challenge in synthesis science: to design and synthesize bio-inspired functional materials that rival those found in biology.
E06 Antibody Blocks Inflammation
E06 Antibody Blocks Inflammation, Protects Mice from Hardened Arteries and Liver Disease. Study uncovers new potential therapeutic approach for a number of diseases linked to inflammation, including atherosclerosis, aortic stenosis and hepatic steatosis
Graphene Carpets Improve Neuron Communication
A work led by SISSA and published on Nature Nanotechnology reports for the first time experimentally the phenomenon of ion ‘trapping’ by graphene carpets and its effect on the communication between neurons. The researchers have observed an increase in the activity of nerve cells grown on a single layer of graphene.
Thin-Film Transistors Made Easy with AHPCS Shearing Blade
A flexible, durable and solvent-resistance inorganic polymer. (Allylhybridpolycarbosilane or AHPCS) was used to fabricate the microstructured AHPCS shearing blade. The wet-ability of the AHPCS micropillar surface is tunable. By controlling the shearing rate and the substrate temperature, crystal growth can occur along the moving blade.
Minimalist Biostructures Designed to Create Nanomaterials
Researchers of the Institute of Biotechnology and Biomedicine (IBB-UAB) have achieved to generate 4 peptides -molecules smaller than proteins – capable of self-assembling in a controlled manner to create nanomaterials. The research, published in the journal ACS Nano, was conducted by Salvador Ventura, Marta Díaz and Susanna Navarro (IBB-UAB), and included the collaboration of Isabel Fuentes and Francesc Teixidor (Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona, ICMAB-CSIC).
Nano Decorations Remove Water Contaminants
A Recent Study Shows how Grains of Sediment and Nano Decorations Capture & Release Impurities in Water. When bacteria and viruses get into well water and make people sick, often the contamination comes after heavy rain or flooding. In 2000, more than 2,300 people in Walkerton, Ontario, got sick when, after unusually heavy rains. E. coli bacteria found their way to drinking water wells. Seven people died.
Bolometers a Better Device for Measuring Electromagnetic Radiation
Bolometers, devices that monitor electromagnetic radiation through heating of an absorbing material, are used by astronomers and homeowners alike. But most such devices have limited bandwidth and must be operated at ultralow temperatures.
Dialog Semiconductor Enters Growing Haptics Market
Dialog Semiconductor, a provider of highly integrated power management, AC/DC power conversion, charging, and Bluetooth® low energy technology, today unveiled the DA7280, a new Haptic Driver Integrated Circuit (IC). The device is capable of driving both ERM (Eccentric Rotating Mass) and LRA (Linear Resonant Actuators) motors
Center for Neovation in Neocity
Intensely focused on the future, the Center for Neovation, formerly known as the Florida Advanced Manufacturing Research Center (FAMRC) was designed and constructed in 24 months.
Semiconductor Manufacturing Facility Expansion
ON Semiconductor Corporation (Nasdaq: ON), driving energy efficient innovations, is excited to announce the expansion of their manufacturing facility in Rochester, New York. The site develops and manufactures image sensor devices for commercial, industrial and professional imaging applications, including machine vision, surveillance, traffic monitoring, medical and scientific imaging and photography.
New Superconductor Design allows for better control at the nanoscale
New Superconductor Design presents a better superconductor with geometric frustration. Superconductors contain tiny tornadoes of supercurrent, called vortex filaments, that create resistance when they move. This affects the way superconductors carry a current. A new superconductor design creates potential making them better for applications.
New Semiconductor Assembly Process
UCLA scientists and engineers have developed a new semiconductor assembly process. The advance could lead to much more energy-efficient transistors for electronics and computer chips, diodes for solar cells and light-emitting diodes, and other semiconductor-based devices.
