We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Nanotechnology",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Process tool systems ordered for research complex from
Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology, which we summarised at the time by saying "Nine systems will provide University of Southampton with leading-edge capabilities in the research and development of novel nanoelectronic, MEMS and photonic
devices".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Facility helps grow Scottish companies from
Scottish Enterprise: "The centre will help companies graduate out of incubator units such as the Scottish Microelectronics Centre in Edinburgh and Photonix in Glasgow".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Cap-XX
concerning its CAP-XX HS and HW supercapacitors
- take a look at Supercapacitors tolerate high temperatures
which says: "CAP-XX supercapacitors pack the highest energy and power densities into thin, lightweight, prismatic packages that will fit into slim portable devices".
Take a look also at the news release from Keithley Instruments, Deal targets characterisation of novel materials,
as well as Plasma processing systems for the Ivy League from Surface Technology Systems,
and Nanotechnology measurements explained from Keithley Instruments.
