Recently, a research group of Freiburg University at Germany has been cooperated with one of the well known semiconductor vendors, Micronas AG to integrate a fuel cell array on a chip. According to Hoffman, the leader of the research group, the device is having the ability to power autonomous Microsystems, which is known as ‘Smart [...]

In the last couples of decades, the technology of computer has been undergoing a very huge transformation. Based on the latest statistic, currently there are more than 1 billions of computers across the worldwide. Recently, the physicists at UC San Diego have developed the high speedy integrated circuits with particles called “excitons”. The researchers described [...]

Silicon is one of the most important semiconductor materials. However, it’s always considered as brittle and breakable as window glass. In order to improve the fragility, many scientists have been doing many researches, hoping to find the best solution. Guess what! Empa researchers have discovered the solution, by creating minute silicon pillars in nano-sized. According [...]

In the past few decades, many scientists have been predicted that in the future, the hybrid motors are going to be dominated the roads. Well, it seen that the prediction is slowly becoming a reality, as there are more and more hybrid motors exist on the roads in present days. The only problem is the [...]

Xerox has announced their new technology that enables to print electronics circuits on various surfaces like clothes, tapes or other materials. Their technology uses ink that contain silver metal to make printouts conductive. Earlier liquid silver tended to be inconvenient for printing on plastic surfaces due to high temperature – now they found better inc [...]

Each day, there are many new breakthroughs in the technology field. Recently, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has giving the Nobel Prize Award in Physics for 2009 to three physicists for their outstanding groundbreaking in the optical fiber communication and CCD image sensor. The two honored physicists are Charles K.Kao, Standard Telecommunication Laboratories, Harlow, [...]

Glass sculpture or studio glass is always referred as the modern use of glass as an artistic medium to produce sculptures. Based on the ancient history, the glassware has been developed in Egypt and Assyria since 5,000 years ago. Murano is best known as the birthplace of modern glass art. Normally, the main purpose of [...]
