MIT
Innovation center

MIT
has started plans for a new
center to help turn ideas into technologies that will attract more
investment from companies. This center which helps out their awesome
nanotech dept among lots of other depts, is something that IMHO belongs in
every University. This should help people with great ideas get the
break they need to be successful (It even provides funding for good ideas
that don't have a proof of concept yet.). You go, MIT! Thanks to
Nanotech-now for the news.

The
good folks at Applied Nanotech Inc. have developed a new nanotube composite
which could be used in future display
technologies. This new composite offers lower power consumption
than previous technologies, and it uses fewer nanotubes (which will make the
composite cheaper to manufacture). The nanotube display market is
really getting hot.... Thanks to Nanoelectronics
Planet for the news.

Need
really great detection of impurities in your material samples? The Institute, Laue-Langevin, in Grenoble
thinks that Neutron
Holography might be your answer. Not only will it offer great 3-D
resolution of it target object, but it may also provide info of the magnetic
properties of the target atoms. Nanotech-now
provided the link.

New
Nanotube Composite

A
team led by Nicholas Kotov of Oklahoma State University in Stillwater has
developed a very hard composite
material which is six times stronger than carbon fiber and ranks among
the hardest materials known (about as hard as SiC or TaC). The carbon
nanotube/carbon composite material is a start in what promises to be many
new, super hard nanotube based materials. This article brought to us
by Nanotech-now.

Nanotube displays (Nanotube)

Cetek
and Motorola are teaming up IP to bring a new flat
screen display to market. This new display, based on nanotubes,
would have the resolution of CRT displays, but the nanotube displays would
be much more power efficient and cheaper to produce than active matrix LCD
screens. I can't wait to have a nanotube monitor or TV. Thanks
to Nanoelectronics Planet
for the good news.

Photonic
Twins (Nanotech)

Researchers
at Stanford have found a way to coerce nearly identical
photons from quantum dots. This discovery may help light the way (heh,
I made a funny... 8o) ) for optical computers since they would need photons
which displayed almost identical properties for the optical gates to work
correctly. Thanks to Nanotech-now
for the article link.
