A $4 million Titan transmission electron micro-scope has been acquired from FEI Co., Hillsboro, Oregon, by Purdue University, West Lafayette, Ind. The instrument has 14 main lenses and another 50 smaller lenses. It is housed in a specially shielded f A $4 million Titan transmission electron...
Researchers at Purdue University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have successfully created networks of carbon nanotubes that can be used to create print circuits on plastic sheets for applications including flexible displays. Nanonets are produced at low temperatures so the circuitry can be placed on flexible plastic sheets,...
Like an architect who designs skyscrapers, Timothy Fisher spends a lot of time thinking about building upward. But for Fisher, an associate mechanical engineering professor at Purdue University, "building upward" requires only a tiny amount of height. Working with Purdue engineering professor...
Researchers at Purdue University, USA, have developed a technique to grow individual carbon nanotubes vertically on top of a silicon wafer. The process--developed by Professor Timothy S. Fisher and Dr Timothy D. Sands--is described as another step toward making advanced electronics, wireless...
by Matthew Miller Researchers at Purdue University have developed a process that grows individual carbon nanotubes vertically atop a silicon wafer. Step 1 in the process uses anodization to create an array of cylindrical pores in a thin film...
Byline: Purdue University WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., May 2 AScribe Newswire -- Engineers have created carpets made of tiny cylinders called carbon nanotubes to enhance the flow of heat at a critical point where computer chips connect to cooling devices called heat sinks, promising...
Byline: Purdue University WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., Oct. 11 AScribe Newswire -- Engineers at Purdue University have shown how researchers might better use tiny hollow fibers called "multi-walled carbon nanotubes" to more precisely measure structures and devices for electronics and other applications. ...
Researchers at Purdue University, USA, have developed improved hip joint implants using carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofilaments that are aligned in the same direction. This arrangement mimics the alignment of the collagen fibres and hydroxyapatite occurring in natural bones. Previous experiments conducted by...
Artificial joints might be improved by making implants out of carbon nanotubes and filaments that are all aligned in the same direction, mimicking the alignment of collagen fibers and natural ceramic crystals in real bones, according to a research team from Purdue University. ...
Purdue University researchers find that carbon nanotubes may help joint implants fuse with growing bone cells. Artificial joints that bond tightly with bone are likely to last longer and perform better for patients, doctors say...

TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH NEWS Natural tissues grow from the ground up molecule by molecule, and in many cases the alignment of each molecule matters. Researchers from Purdue University have found that artificial joints can be improved by mimicking the alignment of collagen fibers and...
TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH NEWS The key to faster electronics is making electrical components smaller. Along those lines, researchers are working to make components from carbon nanotubes, which are rolled-up sheets of carbon atoms that can be smaller than a nanometer in diameter. ...
A cooling technology for computers in which moving ions create tiny wind currents is under development by mechanical engineers at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Ind. The technique works by generating ions from electrodes placed close to one another on a computer chip. The negatively charged electrodes...

Ever-more powerful computer chips will eventually outstrip the ability of cooling fans and heat sinks to keep them cool. Systems that circulate liquids to draw heat from ICs have shown promise though they present many challenges. But a new type of cooling technology that uses "nanolightining"...
TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH NEWS As the transistors that make up a computer's logic circuits become smaller, they allow for more electrical signals between circuits in a given time period. This, in turn, creates more waste heat, which must be dissipated to keep the computer...
