| Nanoshaping method points to future manufacturing technology Posted: 11 Dec 2014 03:05 PM PST A new method that creates large-area patterns of 3-D nanoshapes from metal sheets represents a potential manufacturing system to inexpensively mass produce innovations such as 'plasmonic metamaterials' for advanced technologies.  |
| Basic rules for construction with a type of origami Posted: 11 Dec 2014 11:26 AM PST Origami is capable of turning a simple sheet of paper into a pretty paper crane, but the principles behind it can be applied to making a microfluidic device or for storing a satellite's solar panel in a rocket's cargo bay. Researchers are turning kirigami, a related art form that allows the paper to be cut, into a technique that can be applied equally to structures on those vastly divergent length scales.  |
| Stacking two-dimensional materials may lower cost of semiconductor devices Posted: 11 Dec 2014 08:55 AM PST A team of researchers has found that stacking materials that are only one atom thick can create semiconductor junctions that transfer charge efficiently, regardless of whether the crystalline structure of the materials is mismatched -- lowering the manufacturing cost for a wide variety of semiconductor devices such as solar cells, lasers and LEDs.  |
| A golden thread through the labyrinth of nanomaterials Posted: 11 Dec 2014 05:11 AM PST The LICARA guidelines are geared towards small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from all branches of industry, and help weigh up the pros and cons of nanomaterials and make decisions on their use. The guidelines also do their bit towards efficient communication in the value added chain.  |
| New model to predict the thermal performance of vegetal façades Posted: 10 Dec 2014 05:05 AM PST After years of monitoring different experimental buildings, a group of researchers from the School of Architecture of Universidad Politécnica de Madrid has developed a model that can estimate the thermal performance of vegetal façades regarding the traditional ones by previously studying the main characteristics of its climatology. Therefore, this model is a great tool to assess energy saving associated to vegetal façades installations in addition to having thermal benefits for the users of these buildings.  |
| High photosensitivity 2D-few-layered molybdenum diselenide phototransistors Posted: 08 Dec 2014 07:54 AM PST Researchers have fabricated High photosensitivity back-gated field-effect phototransistors made of only 20 nanometer thick molybdenum diselenide crystals by facile mechanical cleavage and transfer of MoSe2 flakes onto a silicon wafers for next generation for photodetector applications.  |
