Chemists create molecule with promising semiconductor properties (2/13/2010)

A team of chemists from the University of New Hampshire has synthesized the first-ever stable derivative of nonacene, creating a compound that holds significant promise in the manufacture of flexible organic electronics such as large displays, solar cells and radio frequency identification tags. The team, led by professor of organic chemistry and materials science Glen Miller and including two UNH undergraduates, published their findings in January 2010 in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. ...> Full Article



Start-up company prepares to commercialize novel detector for medical, military applications (10/30/2009)

Start-up company prepares to commercialize novel detector for medical, military applicationsPAIR Technologies, a start-up company established by University of Delaware researchers and a former DuPont scientist, is preparing to commercialize a high-precision detector -- a planar array infrared spectrograph -- that can identify biological and chemical agents in solids, liquids and gases, in quantities as small as an atom, and in less than a second. ...> Full Article


The future of electricity may be found in environmentally-friendly, thermoelectric cells (10/19/2009)

The Air Force Office of Scientific Research and the National Science Foundation are funding research that may result in a military turbine aircraft that for the first time ever will produce its own electricity from exhaust heat generated from thermo electricity. ...> Full Article



Small ... smaller ... smallest? Researchers create molecular diode (10/16/2009)

Small ... smaller ... smallest? Researchers create molecular diodeRecently, at Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute, N.J., Tao and collaborators have found a way to make a key electrical component on a phenomenally tiny scale. Their single-molecule diode is described in this week's online edition of Nature Chemistry. ...> Full Article



Paper battery may power electronics in clothing and packaging material (9/24/2009)

Paper battery may power electronics in clothing and packaging materialImagine a gift wrapped in paper you really do treasure and want to carefully fold and save. That's because the wrapping paper lights up with words like "Happy Birthday" or "Happy Holidays," thanks to a built in battery -- an amazing battery made out of paper. That's one potential application of a new battery made of cellulose, the stuff of paper, being described in the Oct. 14 issue of ACS' Nano Letters, a monthly journal. ...> Full Article



Graphene and gallium arsenide: 2 perfect partners find each other (9/18/2009)

Graphene and gallium arsenide: 2 perfect partners find each otherScientists of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt have made graphene visible on gallium arsenide. Previously it has only been possible on silicon oxide. Now that they are able to view with a light optical microscope the graphene layer, which is thinner than one thousandth of a light wavelength, the researchers (and experts for precision measurements) want to measure the electrical properties of their new material combination. ...> Full Article


Troublesome green algae serve as coating substrate in record-setting battery (9/11/2009)

Unwanted blooms of Cladophora algae throughout the Baltic and in other parts of the world are not entirely without a positive side. A group of researchers at the Ångström Laboratory at Uppsala University have discovered that the distinctive cellulose nanostructure of these algae can serve as an effective coating substrate for use in environmentally friendly batteries. The findings have been published in an article in Nano Letters. ...> Full Article


Hankering for molecular electronics? Grab the new NIST sandwich (8/27/2009)

Hankering for molecular electronics? Grab the new NIST sandwichA research team from NIST and the University of Maryland has found a simple method of sandwiching organic molecules between silicon and metal, two materials fundamental to electronic components. By doing so, the team may have overcome one of the principal obstacles in creating switches made from individual molecules. ...> Full Article


Mysterious charge transport in self-assembled monolayer transistors unraveled (8/16/2009)

Mysterious charge transport in self-assembled monolayer transistors unraveledAn international team of researchers from the Netherlands, Russia and Austria discovered that monolayer coverage and channel length set the mobility in self-assembled monolayer field-effect transistors. This opens the door to extremely sensitive chemical sensors that can be produced in a cost-effective way. The research was done at Philips Research Eindhoven and Eindhoven University of Technology. The findings were published as an advanced online publication in Nature Nanotechnology. ...> Full Article
