Nanowires and nanotubes, slender structures that are only a few billionths of a meter in diameter but many thousands or millions of times longer, have become hot materials in recent years. They exist in many forms — made of metals, semiconductors, insulators and organic compounds — and are being studied for use in electronics, energy conversion, optics and chemical sensing, among other fields.
Zyvex Technologies worked together with COSI and The Ohio State University on March 30 to celebrate NanoDays, an educational program held nationwide to educate parents and children about nanoscale science and engineering. COSI anticipated an attendance of over 5,000 visitors for NanoDays.
Nano-C, Inc., a leading developer of nanostructured carbon for use in energy and electronics applications, today announces a growth financing, which was led by Fontinalis Partners and saw continued participation from existing investors. Terms of the transaction are not disclosed.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) for Electronics & Electrics 2013-2023: Forecasts, Applications, Technologies" report to their offering.
The Computer Engineering and Systems Group (CESG) from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering initiated the inaugural Texas Workshop on Integrated System Exploration (TexasWISE), which was designed to promote interactions between integrated circuits/systems faculty and industry members.
Early diagnosis is critical in treating Lyme disease. However, nearly one quarter of Lyme disease patients are initially misdiagnosed because currently available serological tests have poor sensitivity and specificity during the early stages of infection. Misdiagnosed patients may go untreated and thus progress to late-stage Lyme disease, where they face longer and more invasive treatments, as well as persistent symptoms.
Carbon nanotubes can be used as quantum bits for quantum computers. A study by physicists at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen has shown how nanotubes can store information in the form of vibrations. Up to now, researchers have experimented primarily with electrically charged particles. Because nanomechanical devices are not charged, they are much less sensitive to electrical interference.
2012 continued to see major advances that were enabled by nanotechnology. In medicine in particular the delivery methods wrapped within nanoparticles have advanced many new and traditional drugs further along the clinical trial pipeline. Nano-engineering has also increased its grip on semiconductor manufacturing, and a multitude of quality control subsystems.
Nanomix Inc., (Nanomix), a leading nanotechnology company focused on development of next generation point of care diagnostic tests to enable earlier and more accurate testing in hospital and pre-hospital settings, announced today that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has allowed a patent application relating to flexible nanostructure electronic devices, such as nanotube sensors and transistors, and method for fabricating the same.
Gasplas AS in conjunction with Cambridge Nanosystems Ltd will present at CleanEquity Monaco 2013 on March 7th & 8th at the Sporting d'Hiver, Monaco.
