Life's smallest motor, a protein that shuttles cargo within cells and helps cells divide, does so by rocking up and down like a seesaw, according to research conducted by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Brandeis University.

IBM awarded an international prize to the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany - to support research work being carried out by Professor Dr Claudia Felser to improve solar cells.

Critical issues and potential solutions in preparing extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) for high-volume manufacturing will be explored by SEMATECH technologists at the SPIE Advanced Lithography 2010 conferences Feb. 21-25 in San Jose, CA.

Compared with the existing product Baytubes C 150 P, the CNTs with the trade name Baytubes C 70 P are characterized by improved dispersibility, making them highly suited to use in mechanically sensitive polymers.

Model VFC-1000 APDs of the Deschutes BSI series provide high responsivity and low capacitance.

At the 2010 Mobile World Congress, GLOBALFOUNDRIES and ARM unveiled new details on their leading-edge System-on-Chip (SoC) platform technology for powering the next generation of wireless products and applications.

Researchers detail a method that uses hydrogels - less than 100 nanometers in size - to sneak a particular type of small interfering RNA (siRNA) into cancer cells. Once in the cell the siRNA turns on the programmed cell death the body uses to kill mutated cells and help traditional chemotherapy do it's job.

Seattle-based Modumetal has received a contract award from NAVAIR for an advanced nanolaminated coating that is expected to replace vapor-deposited cadmium in a high temperature, high impact environment.

Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology have shown that by directing gold nanoparticles into the nuclei of cancer cells, they can not only prevent them from multiplying, but can kill them where they lurk.

The new hub, which includes equipment and infrastructure acquired from NXP Semiconductors' facility in Caen, offers comprehensive failure analysis and reliability testing for semiconductor companies in Europe and Israel.

Low-power source offers high pulse rate with great pulse-to-pulse stability.

At next week's SPIE Advanced Lithography Conference, to be held February 22 - 26 in San Jose, California, imec technologists contribute in a record number of over 30 papers showing their newest breakthroughs in advanced semiconductor lithography research.

Welding uses heat to join pieces of metal in everything from circuits to skyscrapers. But Rice University researchers have found a way to beat the heat on the nanoscale.
