ESPOO, Finland, June 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Picosun Oy, leading Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) equipment manufacturer, reports excellent process results for copper diffusion barrier deposition. ALD materials for copper diffusion barriers were investigated in the project ESiP (Efficient Silicon Multi-Chip System-in-Package Integration - Reliability, Failure Analysis and Test), running from May 2010 to June 2013. In ESiP, Picosun worked in close collaboration especially...
redOrbit Staff & Wire Reports - Your Universe Online Using an extremely fast and extremely powerful X-ray laser, researchers have successfully observed how a catalyst behaves during a chemical reaction – work that they claim could be an important step forward in the search for cleaner and more efficient sources of energy. Catalysts are substances that modify and increase the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process, and they are essential to the production...
redOrbit Staff & Wire Reports - Your Universe Online Scientists from the University of Cambridge have created, for the first time, a new type of microchip that allows information to move in three dimensions -- from left to right, back to front, and top to bottom. The breakthrough could allow a many-fold increase in performance compared with current microchips, which can only pass digital information in two dimensions - from either left to right or front to back. Researchers...
[ Watch the Video: Rice University Opens New Window on Parkinson’s Disease ] Lee Rannals for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online Scientists at Rice University have found a new way to look inside living cells to see the insoluble fibrillar deposits associated with Parkinson's disease. Two laboratories at the university helped lead to the spectroscopic technique that could be a valuable tool for fighting the disease. The team wrote in the Journal of the American Chemical Society...
For mass production using sub-10nm process - dispersing risks in supply chainTokyo, July 10, 2012 - (ACN Newswire) - Tanaka Holdings Co., Ltd. (a company of Tanaka Precious Metals) today announced that Tanaka Kikinzoku Kogyo K.K., which operates the Tanaka Precious Metals' manufacturing business, has opened supply centers in Taiwan (Hsinchu City), South Korea (Incheon Metropolitan City) and the United States (Connecticut State) for the thin-film material (precious...
A new study by University of Kentucky researchers shows how light and strained ruthenium-based drugs may be more effective at fighting cancer cells and less toxic to healthy cells than a similar and widely used drug. Cisplatin is a common platinum-based cancer drug. But while cisplatin kills cancer cells, it also attacks healthy cells, causing debilitating side effects. Ruthenium is a rare transition metal also belonging to the platinum group of the periodic table, and the UK researchers...

TSX: PFN OTCQX: PAWEF Frankfurt: P7J -- A technique has been developed to estimate the Rhodium (Rh), concentration of the Indicated and Measured Resource of the River Valley intrusion from Platinum (Pt) and Palladium (Pd) concentrations. -- The Rh content of the resource is estimated at~ 10% of the Pt content -- A significant proportion of the PGE's initially deposited in the conduit may still...
Rice University lab's light-switching complex attaches itself to amyloid proteinsA breakthrough in sensing at Rice University could make finding signs of Alzheimer's disease nearly as simple as switching on a light.The technique reported in the Journal of the American Chemical Society should help researchers design better medications to treat the devastating disease.The lab of Rice bioengineer Angel Martà is testing metallic molecules that naturally attach themselves to a collection of...
How would you like to store all the films ever made on a device the size of an I-phone?Magnets made of just a few metallic atoms could make it possible to build radically smaller storage devices and have also recently been proposed as components for spintronics devices. There's just one obstacle on the way. Nano-sized magnets have only been seen to work at temperatures a few hairs above absolute zero. High temperature nanomagnets deviced by chemistry studentNow a chemistry student at the...
