UCSD: Nanowires can boost solar cell efficiency
May 23 -- May 23, 2008 - Researchers at the U. of California/San Diego say they have created solar cells "spiked" with nanowires in a proof-of-concept experiment that could show the way to improved efficiency in thin-flim solar cells....
 
CNT-asbestos links point to need for more research, say experts
May 22 -- by James Montgomery, News Editor, Solid State Technology
May 22, 2008 - A new report published in the journal Nature Nanotechnologies is raising alarms about apparent health risks associated with carbon nanotubes (CNT), similar to those seen with asbestos. But efforts are already underway to look more closely at potential issues, according to Walt Trybula, former SEMATECH immersion lithography guru and now at Texas State U., in an email exchange with WaferNEWS....
 
Princeton tips way to "melt" chip features
May 05 -- May 5, 2008 - A new technique to literally melt away defects in etching microchip structures, and significantly reduce line-edge roughness (LER), has been revealed by scientists at Princeton U....
