Researchers at the Technische Universität München (TUM) are showing the way toward low-cost, industrial-scale manufacturing of a new family of electronic devices. A leading example is a gas sensor that could be integrated into food packaging to gauge

A team of Stanford engineers has built a basic computer using carbon nanotubes, a semiconductor material that has the potential to launch a new generation of electronic devices that run faster, while using less energy, than those made from silicon ch

After a decade of rapidly growing industrial use, unimaginably tiny particles surround us everywhere, every day, in everything we do. Used in the manufacturing of cosmetics, clothing, paints, food, drug delivery systems and many other familiar produ

The “Synthetic Plant Carbohydrates” group offers a PhD-position in synthetic organic chemistry. We are part of the Department of Biomolecular Systems at the Max-Planck-Institute of Colloids and Interfaces located in Berlin-Dahlem. The department of B

The 7th International Conference of the Africa Materials Research Society will be held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, December 8-13, 2013.

The Conference will focus on broad materials research themes (noted below), including some of special interest to Afr

A team of researchers at the University of California with members also from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Stanford University has succeeded in combining tunneling microscopy and infrared spectroscopy to gain a better understanding of how

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign researchers have developed arrays of tiny nano-antennas that can enable sensing of molecules that resonate in the infrared (IR) spectrum. Nanoantennas made of semiconductor can help scientists detect molecul

To review the background of different imaging modes with a special focus on the analysis of surface properties with dynamic force spectroscopy, here is the course :
