Compact, sensitive and fast nanodetectors are considered to be somewhat of a "Holy Grail" sought by many researchers around the world. And now a team of scientists in Italy and France has been inspired by nanomaterials and has created a novel solid-state technology platform that opens the door to the use of terahertz (THz) photonics in a wide range of applications.
Commercially available hydrocarbons were used as templates to synthesize uniform nanographene sheets using a series of sheet extending agents and a new transition metal catalyst, which were developed by Kyohei Ozaki, Katsuaki Kawasumi, Mari Shibata, Hideto Ito, and Professor Kenichiro Itami at Nagoya University's Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (ITbM) and of the JST-ERATO Itami Molecular Nanocarbon Project.
Researchers at the University of Surrey's Advanced Technology Institute manipulated zinc oxide, producing nanowires from this readily available material to create a ultra-violet light detector which is 10,000 times more sensitive to UV light than a traditional zinc oxide detector.
Corannulene is a carbon molecule with a unique shape (similar to the better known fullerene) and promising properties. A team of scientists from SISSA and the University of Zurich carried out computer simulations of the molecule’s properties and discovered that it might help overcome the difficulties building molecular circuits (i.e., of the size of molecules). The study has just been published in Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics.
The future of electronics could lie in a material from its past, as researchers from The Ohio State University work to turn germanium—the material of 1940s transistors—into a potential replacement for silicon.
Thin Film Electronics ASA (“Thinfilm”), a leader in the development and commercialization of printed electronics and smart systems, today announced that it has joined the GSMA, the organization that represents the interests of mobile operators worldwide and hosts the annual Mobile World Congress conference.
Nanotech Security Corp., announces successfully signing a contract with an issuing authority of a major foreign government to develop a unique optically-variable security feature to be potentially incorporated into various denominations of polymer, paper-based, and composite banknotes and secure documents. The one year contract is valued at approximately $1,000,000 with a renewal option.
The report "Polymer Nanocomposites Market by Type (Nanoclay, Carbon Nanotube, Graphene, Metal-Oxide, Nanofiber and others), By Applications, and By Region - Global Trends and Forecasts to 2020", published by MarketsandMarkets, The market for Polymer Nanocomposites in terms of value is expected to reach above $5,100 Million by 2020, growing at a significant CAGR from 2014 to 2019.
Imagine thousands of copies of a single protein organizing into a coat of chainmail armor that protects the wearer from harsh and ever-changing environmental conditions.
Blemish skin is a common problem often confused with Acne. The cause of skin blemishes is the local imbalance of skin metabolism while Acne is a skin decease caused by hormonal imbalances, overactive sebum production (skin oil) and the existence of a specific bacterial flora. If Acne skin is always Oily, Blemish skin can be Normal, Oily and Dry type.
