Organic solar cells being developed by the team at New Mexico State University and Wake Forest are made of plastic that is relatively inexpensive, flexible, can be wrapped around structures or even applied like paint, said physicist Seamus Curran, head of the nanotechnology laboratory at NMSU. The level of energy conversion has been a problem …
Eric Drexler has posted his new design for a carbon transfer tool. Eric Drexler is of course the originator of key concepts and seminal works in molecular manafacturing. He originated advanced nanotechnology in Engines of Creation and Nanosystems. He introduces a novel carbon-transfer tool design(named “DC10c”), the first predicted to exhibit key properties in combination. …
I have recreated this site after the original data was lost by blogger back in July. I had hoped that the original could be recovered but that has not happened. So now I have recreated it. I am hoping that data loss will not happen again.
In the addressable field emitter array concept, electron beams from amorphous diamond cathodes “write” circuit patterns onto a computer chip wafer. The technology could help chip makers attain the degrees of chip density that designers are approaching. Researchers at ORNL are developing a method of packing more circuitry into a smaller space on these silicon …
NASA has a lot of nanotechnology research that they are looking for business partners for commercial development. Carbon nanotube based membranes known as buckypaper may be used as filter media for analytical mission instruments or implantable device support for astronaut health monitoring The NASA Ames Research Center offers the opportunity to license and co-develop a …
