Asylum Research and Micra Nanotecnologia announced today that they have entered into a new distribution agreement that will enable Asylum to extend its global reach and promote its products in Latin America.

Open-Silicon, Inc., a leading ASIC design and semiconductor manufacturing company, and Virage Logic, the semiconductor industry's trusted IP partner, today announced a partnership agreement to provide customers with comprehensive design solutions including access to Virage Logic's extensive Physical and advanced Interface intellectual property portfolio.

The Institute of Microelectronics (IME), a research institute of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), and Silicon Quest, Inc., a US-based fab-less company, today announced their partnership in the development of a CMOS compatible high density array MEMS micro-mirror device for the next generation high definition display applications.

NeoPhotonics today announced the company has been selected by Red Herring magazine for its list as one of the 100 most promising technology innovators in the world.

This publication consists of a series of research articles on the nature of public debate on nanosciences and nanotechnologies, and the ways in which deliberative approaches could lead to better governance of these technologies.

Energetiq Technology, Inc., a developer and manufacturer of specialized light sources for advanced technology applications, has announced a solid-state LED Illuminator to its light source product offering for use in semiconductor lithography.

The National Academy of Engineering recognized Thomas Kuech, Milton J. and A. Maude Shoemaker Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering at UW-Madison, for his contributions in developing and characterizing compound semiconductors.

One of the hallmarks of cancer is that tumors are able to suppress the immune system, preventing the body's own defense system from eliminating the disease, particularly as tumors spread through the body. Cancer researchers have identified the molecule responsible for this unwanted immune suppression, and have even designed an inhibitor of this molecule.

New results provide better understanding of the internal structure of the proton, the basic building block of all nuclei.

Researchers describe the use of electrically charged nanopores to detect specific genetic sequences as single DNA molecules pass through the pore. If further development proves successful, this method could yield a new approach to mutation detection that does not involve time-consuming and expensive amplification processes.

Mit der Entwicklung und dem Einsatz einer neuen Generation von Elektronenmikroskopen beschaeftigt sich ein internationales Symposium, zu dem der Exzellenzcluster 'Zellulaere Netzwerke' der Universitaet Heidelberg am 19. Februar 2010 einlaedt.

A team of investigators has developed a set of design rules that produce nanoparticles that have the best chance of binding to a tumor but that will clear rapidly through the kidneys when they do not find their target.

Xennia Technology, a subsidiary of Royal Ten Cate, presents today its process demonstrator for printing and finishing of textile materials.

A Northwestern University study shows that coupling a widely used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent to a nanodiamond results in dramatically enhanced signal intensity and thus vivid image contrast.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and MAPPER Lithography today revealed that a pre-alpha MAPPER tool located on TSMC's Fab 12 GigaFab is repeatedly printing features previously unachievable using current immersion lithography technology.

Printing of microchannels in polymers takes a step forward, but fine-tuning is still required.

A collaboration between researchers at Northwestern University's Center for Catalysis and scientists at Oxford University has produced a new approach for understanding surfaces, particularly metal oxide surfaces, widely used in industry as supports for catalysts.

AMST intends to provide SVTC with access to its MEMS anti-stiction coatings and process services for the ultimate benefit of SVTC's customers.
