AVS ALD 2008, the 8th International Conference on Atomic Layer Deposition held in Bruges, Belgium, became a convincing step forward for Picosun Oy, the Finnish Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) re...
In the emerging field of oxide electronics, electronic devices are based on oxide materials rather than conventional materials such as silicon. One of the most promising candidates for this ap...
RIKEN scientists, along with an international team of co-workers based in the US, UK and France, have spotted a hydrogen atom simultaneously bonding to four metal atoms, a highly unusual a...
Acoustic waves play many everyday roles - from communication between people to ultrasound imaging. Now the highest frequency acoustic waves in materials, with nearly atomic-scale wavelengths, ...
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the Materials for Fuel Cells report to their offering. A fuel cell is an electrochemical device that converts the chemical energy of a...
A dynamic way to alter the shape and size of microscopic three-dimensional structures built out of proteins has been developed by biological chemist Jason Shear and his former graduate student...
Titanium implants were successfully introduced by P.-I. Brnemark and co-workers in 1969 for the rehabilitation of edentulous jaws. After 40 years of research and development, titanium is curre...
Ludwig-Maximilians University (LMU) has ordered an advanced sputtering tool from Surrey NanoSystems, to support fundamental research into the fabrication of hybrid solar cells. The tool will be used...
Improved barrier protection against water and oxygen, through the ultra-sonic application of nano materials to bio degradeable films, is the focus of a $140,000 research project due for compl...
NASA's sun-focused STEREO spacecraft unexpectedly detected particles from the edge of the solar system last year, allowing University of California, Berkeley, scientists to map for the first t...
