Micro- and nanotechnologies in the spotlight: expert discussion at the 16th annual World Micromachine Summit in Dortmund
Last week the international micro- and nanotechnology community met in Dortmund, Germany on the occasion of the 16th international Micromachine Summit. The summit is an annual conference, which shows a snapshot of industrial, scientific and political micro and nano activities worldwide.
The event was initiated in 1995 by the Micromachine Center in Japan. This year, about 100 delegates from some 20 nations held a meeting about... read more »
Another step towards quantum computing: coupling of nitrogen centers in a diamond
Another decisive step forward in the development of quantum computers has been successful. For the first time ever, researchers at the Ruhr University in Bochum, the Universities of Stuttgart and Austin /Texas (USA) have accomplished to place two nitrogen atoms in a distance of only few nanometers, so that laser excitation will be capable of creating a quantum mechanical coupling. The key to the solution: it works with high precision,... read more »
European Micro- and Nanotechnology Industry Rules off 2009 and Moves on
Economic survey of the IVAM Microtechnology Network confirms losses in turnover, lower export shares and funding gaps. Diversification and new products are now in demand.
The impact of the ongoing economic crisis on the microtechnology, nanotechnology and advanced materials industries is expected to be less noticeable in 2010 than in the previous business year. The expectations for 2010 prove that the industry has not lost its optimism.... read more »
LZH-Nanoparticles on the Rise
The LZH is participating in the International Conference ANGEL 2010 and an exhibition in the Deutsche Museum, Munich.
The Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) is coming out big in 2010 with ultrapure nanoparticles for medical applications. One example are LZH nanoparticle exponants that can currently be seen at the new "Center for New Technologies" (ZNT) at the Deutsche Museum in Munich. Also, in 2010 the LZH will host the first... read more »
Slit carbon nanotubes
Carbon offers numerous structures with versatile properties in fullerenes, nanotubes and wafer thin graphene sheets. Narrow ribbons of single atom-thick sheets have recently been added to this range. These nano ribbons are conducting or semiconducting, depending on their width, but are difficult to produce. Now the current edition of the journal 'Nature' has published two American groups announcing new methods that could lead to... read more »
Awards for nanotechnology applications in the energy industry
E.ON research prize awarded on 28 April 2009 in Düsseldorf
The aim of the current version of the international E.ON research initiative is to sponsor applied nanotechnology research at the universities and institutes and thus to further promote the efficient and economic use of nanotechnology in power generation, energy transformation, energy storage or use. The company has made available sponsorship awards amounting to approximately 6... read more »
