Partnership provides SoC designers with Virage Logic's highly differentiated IP for a broad range of SMIC process technologies.

Nanomaterial firm closes $500K angel financing round to commercialize patented nanowire array based technologies for solar cells, lithium-ion battery anodes, and thermal management materials all based on the company's core nanowire array production capabilities.

Researchers in Japan have developed photoluminescent glass capsules containing multiple CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots that retain their photoluminescence properties. With high emission brightness and the durability of glass, the capsule can be used as a fluorescent reagent in a wide variety of bio-applications, from basic research to clinical applications. Its brightness and durability could make it useful as a phosphor for electronics.

A European project has developed a one-stop shop to support companies, especially SMEs, in the rapid design and manufacture of novel micro-devices for use in applications ranging from medical diagnosis to mobile phones.
