Nanotube Electronic

Microscopic wires of the future could be made from carbon nanotubes--rolled-up sheets of graphite only angstroms in diameter. Nanotubes could also be made into electronic devices like diodes and transistors, which are traditionally made from junctions of two or more semiconductors having different electrical properties. In the21 June PRL a team reports their calculations of the basic current and voltage relationships for nanotube junctions, showing that nanotubes should indeed be useable for diodes and other electronic components, once the fabrication techniques improve.David Tománek of Michigan State University in East Lansing calls nanotubes "dream materials" for building tiny circuits: They're strong, nonreactive, tolerant of...

Process Development Challenges in Difficult Economic Times

Abstract It is no secret that the semiconductor industry and other high-tech industries like the MEMS and NEMS industry have suffered over the past year. According to figures from the GSA, semiconductor sales were down by 6% in 2008 compared to 2007. Nor is it much of a secret that many industry figures have championed innovation as the key for companies to ride out the storm and indeed to prepare for the upturn when it comes. Most high-tech industries, which are particularly suffering in the current climate, have experienced a downturn in sales. As such, driving down costs is obviously essential in these tough times. However, some long term cost savings have been largely unexplored by high tech companies until now. In particular, the semiconductor,...

Progress and Perspectives in the Carbon Nanotube World

Over the last decade, nanotechnology has received lots of attention from within society as a potential source for novel solutions to many of the world's existing and emerging problems. Simply put, nanotechnology could provide the ability to better understand and design complex solutions on an atomic and molecular scale. The most attractive nanotechnology-related nanomaterial is considered to be one-dimensional carbon nanotubes (CNT).Geometrically, CNT can be visualized by rolling sheets of graphene into a long hollow tubule. The unique configuration of this material imparts excellent physico-chemical properties1. For instance, the Young's modulus of CNT is stiffer than any other material, while their tensile strength is 100 times that of steel....

Thin-Film Material Increases Power Production in Fuel Cells

This diagram shows the experimental setup used by Prof. Yang Shao-Horn and her team. The circles in the background represent tiny thin-film electrodes made of a material called strontium-substituted lanthanum cobalt perovskite, or LSC (whose crystal structure is diagrammed at top left). The diagram shows the lab setup used to measure the catalytic activity of the LSC. The circular cutout shows how oxygen molecules (O2) are exchanged on the LSC surface. Illustration by postdoctoral researcher Eva Mutoro In many cases, thin layers of a material- which may be just a few molecules in thickness -exhibit properties different from solid blocks of the same material. But even though this is a known phenomenon, the nature of the difference the...

Buy your own Tron Lightcycle: US$35,000

The lightcycle scene was probably the most memorable part of an absolutely jaw-dropping movie when Tron was released back in 1982. One of the first films ever to use the kinds of computer-generated special effects that later become commonplace, it was a glimpse into a whole new world that left an indelible impression on most that saw it. Now, as Disney prepares to release Tron Legacy, a sequel some 28 years after the original, the lightcycles are back and looking meaner than ever. Built by the same guys that did the memorable Batpod replica, the new lightcycles feature massive dual hubless wheels, carbon fiber/fiberglass bodies and all the lashings of neon that you'd expect. And there's going to be five running models...

New Toyota Wish 2010

Toyota have launched the new Wish in the Japan market not too long ago, with a new front look. The new Wish is fitted with the new generation engine with “Valvematic” technology, i guess they renamed VVTL-i to this name, since the technology is variable valve and lift. The interior looks great, with the triangular window at the side so that you have more view of the road.This baby also comes with Super CVT-i transmission which gives better fuel economy. Also mentioned is that the 1.8L gives 16Km/L while the 2.0L gives 15.2Km/L. I would say these are pretty impressive figures for the MPV class.Also available is an Eco Drive mode, i guess in this mode the ECU optimizes the alignment of the driving force with the accelerator operation...
