Nanotechnology researchers are developing the perfect complement to the power tie: a “power shirt” able to generate electricity to power small electronic devices for soldiers in the field, hikers and others whose physical motion could be harnessed and converted to electrical energy.
Nobel Laureate Heinrich Rohrer will deliver a talk in the Vice-Chancellor's public lecture series this Thursday, 14 February, in the Great Hall at the University of Sydney.
A new type of membrane, developed by scientists of the University of Twente in The Netherlands, can stand high temperatures for a long period of time. This ‘molecular sieve’ is capable of removing water out of e.g. solvents and biofuels.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of “Tomorrow's Chemistry Today: Concepts in Nanoscience, Organic Materials and Environmental Chemistry” to their offering.
Four cutting-edge research projects at the University of Toronto have been awarded $23 million from the Province of Ontario through its Ontario Research Fund – Research Excellence program.
With the United Nations predicting global investments of $US15 to $20 trillion will be needed over the next 20 - 25 years to move the world from a conventional to a sustainable energy path, Dyesol Limited (DYE) is continuing to shore up its leadership credentials in the burgeoning alternative energy sector.
Building on 37 years of progress in protecting human health and the environment, EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson today released his agency's $7.14 billion fiscal year 2009 budget.
Members of the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE are traveling to Tokyo with bulky luggage these days. Their destination is Nanotech 2008, the world's largest trade fair for nanotechnology. Their solar module, which they will be presenting in the BMBF marketing campaign "Nanotech Germany", is the size and shape of a door: two meters high and sixty centimeters wide.
Nanotechnology uses particles 80,000 times smaller than a human hair; yet the new technology has the potential to quickly clean up pollution, cure serious illnesses, and make the computer silicon chip obsolete.
Nanotech-enabled energy technologies, printable electronics and nanobiotechnology are just three of the many panel topics to be presented at the IBF's 2008 Nano Applications and Advanced Materials Forum that will take place February 5-6 at the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa at Indian Wells, California.
