Qlight Nanotech, developer of products based on semiconductor nanocrystals for use in flat panel displays and efficient LED lighting, won the Best Nanotechnology Company of the Year Award at the NanoIsrael 2014 conference. Qlight Nanotech was founded in 2009 by Professor Uri Banin as a spin-off of Yissum, the technology transfer company of Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Research presentations in photonics, optics, lasers, and micro- and nanotechnologies, reports on European Commission photonics funding initiatives, and an expanded technology-transfer programme highlight next month's SPIE Photonics Europe symposium. Sponsored by SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, the event runs 14-17 April at the Square Brussels Meeting Centre.
Wrinkling is a common phenomenon for thin stiff film adhered on soft substrate. Various wrinkling phenomenon has been reported previously. Wu Dan, Yin Yajun, Xie Huimin,et al from Tsinghua University proposed a new method to control wrinkling and buckling of thin stiff film on soft substrate. It is found that the curve pattern on the soft substrate has obvious influence on the wrinkling distribution of the thin film/soft substrate.
Researchers the world round are working to develop optical chips, where light can be controlled with nanostructures. These could be used for future circuits based on light (photons) instead of electron - that is photonics instead of electronics. But it has proved to be impossible to achieve perfect photonic nanostructures: they are inevitably a little bit imperfect.
Nanotech Security Corp. is pleased to announce that it has been selected to design and produce an exclusive event access ID and branding solution for the TED2014 and TEDActive 2014 conferences. Nanotech’s next-generation KolourOptik® nanotechnology will be integrated as a security feature on each participant’s ID badge for both events.
From super-lubricants, to solar cells, to the fledgling technology of valleytronics, there is much to be excited about with the discovery of a unique new two-dimensional semiconductor, rhenium disulfide, by researchers at Berkeley Lab's Molecular Foundry.
Cutera, Inc., a leading provider of laser, light and other energy-based aesthetic systems for practitioners worldwide, is unveiling two new systems at the 72nd American Academy of Dermatology conference in Denver, Colorado, held from March 21-25, 2014.
EMCORE Corporation, a leading provider of compound semiconductor-based components and subsystems for the fiber optics and space solar power markets, announced today the release of the 1752A 1550 nm DOCSIS 3.1 DWDM DFB Laser Module for CATV (Cable Television) applications. The new 1752A is the latest model in EMCORE's 1550 nm QAM laser platform and is fully compliant with the new DOCSIS 3.1 standard, supporting operational bandwidth up to 1.2 GHz.
Thermal conduction is a familiar everyday phenomenon. In a hot sauna, for instance, you can sit comfortably on a wooden bench that has a temperature of 100C (212F), but if you touch a metallic nail with the same temperature, you will hurt yourself.
Molecular interactions occurring at the interface between water and other substances can have an influence on the functioning of our bodies. EPFL researchers have been able to observe these interactions through the use of highly innovative optical techniques.
