Bridging the Funding Gap in Nanotech: Will It Solve the Innovation Gap? (IEEE Spectrum)
After reading the ensuing comments today, I have to say I come squarely down on the side of Vivek Wadhwa of UC-Berkeley . A lot of money has gone into basic research in recent years and in the last half century as well with a lot of results—they just don’t ever make it into... »
Gold Solution For Enhancing Nanocrystal Electrical Conductance (TestandMeasurement.com)
In a development that holds much promise for the future of solar cells made from nanocrystals, and the use of solar energy to produce clean and renewable liquid transportation fuels, researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have reported a technique by which the electrical conductivity of nanorod... »
‘NanoPen’ to write a new chapter in nanotech manufacturing (ZDNet)
Among the top challenges facing the commercialization of nanotechnology, is to produce a high volume of nano-scale components cheaply and efficiently. To help meet the challenge, UC Berkeley researchers are reporting the development of a “NanoPen” that could provide a quick, convenient way of laying down patterns of nanoparticles… (get the story…) Related items ‘Big cosmetics’ hiding... »
