| Nanotube coating helps shrink mass spectrometers Posted: 25 Mar 2014 01:44 PM PDT Nanotechnology is advancing tools that perform on-the-spot chemical analysis for a range of applications including medical testing, explosives detection and food safety. When paper used to collect a sample was coated with carbon nanotubes, the voltage required was 1,000 times reduced, the signal was sharpened and the equipment was able to capture far more delicate molecules.  |
| Managing renewable energy intelligently Posted: 25 Mar 2014 06:48 AM PDT Although more and more of our electrical energy is coming from sources where supply is variable – whether from wind turbines, solar parks or biomass facilities – grid structures, industry and private households alike are not yet prepared to deal with the inevitable fluctuations. Smart energy management systems are the way to put robust supply networks in place and to ensure that renewables are harnessed as efficiently as possible.  |
| Can germanium replace silicon in mid-infrared group IV photonics? Posted: 24 Mar 2014 06:03 AM PDT A new research project is aiming to establish whether germanium, a group IV semiconductor, can be used as the material of choice in mid-infrared (mid-IR) photonics circuits and sensors Mid-IR group IV photonics has a number of important application areas, such as chemical and biological sensing, environmental and hazardous substance monitoring, medicine, telecommunications, astronomy, defense and security.  |
