University of California, Tsinghua University, and King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals were universities with the most #nanotechnology_patents of 2018 at USPTO.
The University of Alberta's nanoFAB facility will receive an investment of $1 million from the government to help purchase three equipment tool sets (new #high_volume_deposition_tool, #contact_aligners, and #etching_tools) essential to the multistep process of manufacturing many #nanotechnology_products.
#Nanofluids: one #US_patent for every 240 papers in 2018! The high volume of theoretical and computational studies or low commercialization potential of nanofluids could be the reasons for the difference.
The UK government announced a £153 million investment into efforts to commercialize #quantum_computing. The UK’s National Quantum Technologies Programme has now passed £1 billion in investments since its inception in 2014.
The #quantum_dot #market will grow to 61.4 billion dollars with a growth rate of 61.4 % from 2019 to 2024. The largest demand in the market is for the #display and #monitor_devices.
Various manufacturers have commercially been producing #cadmium free #quantum_dots products because cadmium quantum dots may be banned in the near future in many countries.
One potential of nanotechnology in #mining_industry is the use of needles composed of nanosized #supramolecular_wires that can extract #gold from practically any medium without the need for using toxic chemicals.
Decreasing the production cost of #graphene_oxide up to 22 € per kg will make it applicable for areas such as #concrete and #asphalt bitumen.
