Engineers at Ohio State University are developing a technique for mass producing computer chips made from the same material found in pencils.Experts believe that graphene -- the sheet-like form of carbon found in graphite pencils -- holds the key to smaller, faster electronics. It might also deliver quantum mechanical effects that could enable new kinds of electronics.Until now, most researchers could only create tiny graphene devices one at a time, and only on traditional silicon oxide...
THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Feb. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Huntsman Corporation (NYSE: HUN) today announced the appointment of Andre Genton as President of its Advanced Materials Division. Mr. Genton most recently served as Vice President and Global Operating Officer of Advanced Materials. He has 25 years of experience and has held a variety of positions in the business, including Vice President of Design and Composites Engineering, Vice President of Global Structural Composites, Head of...
HARRISBURG, Pa., Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Governor Edward G. Rendell today said workers in high-growth, high-demand industries will be able to improve their skills and improve their careers through the state investment of $12 million in industry partnerships which leverages $14 million in private-sector funds. "For Pennsylvania to lead in the global marketplace, our workers must be more highly skilled and better trained than any of the competition," Governor Rendell said. "Industry...
University of Maryland physicists have shown that in graphene the intrinsic limit to the mobility, a measure of how well a material conducts electricity, is higher than any other known material at room temperature. Graphene, a single-atom-thick sheet of graphite, is a new material which combines aspects of semiconductors and metals.Their results, published online in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, indicate that graphene holds great promise for replacing conventional semiconductor materials...
An international science team from Penn State University in the United States and the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom has developed a process for growing a single-crystal semiconductor inside the tunnel of a hollow optical fiber. The device adds new electronic capabilities to optical fibers, whose performance in electronic devices such as computers typically is degraded by the interface between the fiber and the device. The research is important because optical fibers...
