The new discovery by Aalto University can have major impact on future nanoscale device design, such as ultraviolet photo detectors and drug delivery.

A team of researchers from the University of the Basque Country (Spain) has developed a method to determine the chemical composition of liquids seized by police and suspected to be explosive.

Imagine yourself nano-sized, standing on the edge of a soon-to-be computer chip. Down shoots a beam of electrons, carving precise topography that is then etched the depth of the Grand Canyon into the chip. From the perspective of scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory, this improved form of etching could open the door to new technologies.

The pressure on solar manufacturers is inevitably mounting and they are increasingly turning to more efficient technologies to help them meet rising demands. Many of these, including advanced firing and drying solutions from Rehm Thermal Systems, will be on show at the 26th EU PVSEC exhibition, being held from 5th - 9th September in Hamburg, Germany.

The observation and manipulation of single molecules by scanning tunneling microscopy is opening new frontiers in nanoscience.

Today, IBM researchers unveiled a new generation of experimental computer chips designed to emulate the brain's abilities for perception, action and cognition. The technology could yield many orders of magnitude less power consumption and space than used in today's computers.

Through this acquisition, BASF gains access to the market of ultrafiltration technology, a process used in the treatment of drinking water, process water, wastewater and sea water based on specific Multibore membrane technology.

The XXV International Conference on Photochemistry (ICP2011) was held in Beijing on August 7-12, 2011. It was for the first time that the ICP was held in China.

For years, scientists have been trying to create special materials with a negative refractive index - their optical properties are quite different from those of normal materials. Researchers at the TU Vienna could now show that even common metals can have a negative refractive index, if they are placed in a magnetic field.

Molecular separations are extremely important in a wide range of technologies, from conventional proteomics to pathogen detection and DNA fingerprinting. A complication arises from the fact that molecular components in mixtures can span an enormous range of concentration. Conventional approaches such as antibody depletion are not sensitive enough to detect numerous medically significant biomarkers, whose incidence in blood could be as much as a trillion times less abundant than the most plentiful protein, albumin. New research shows a new path in miniaturized molecular separations. It describes a new device that demonstrates simultaneous concentration and separation of proteins by conductivity gradient focusing. Concentration and separation take place in an electric-field-driven 120 nm deep nanochannel that supports a stable salt and conductivity gradient. The results show that relevant proteins can be concentrated to detectable levels.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. announced the development of 32 gigabyte double data rate-3 (DDR3) registered dual Inline memory modules (RDIMMs) that use three dimensional (3D) through silicon via (TSV) package technology.

A team led by researchers at Stanford and Harvard universities has not only created a new material for high-speed organic semiconductors, it has come up with a new approach that can take months, even years, off the development timeline.

This edition focuses on nanoscience, with an emphasis on LEEM (low-energy electron microscopy), PEEM (photoelectron emission microscopy), and related methods.
