As part of a $218 million investment in the emerging field of #quantum_information science (QIS), the #DOE Office of Basic Energy Sciences announced seven awards totaling $30 million over three years to develop QIS infrastructure and research.
#MXenes are expected to be good candidates for a host of applications since they have already shown promising performance in #energy_conversion and #electrochemical_storage systems.
Main research areas of #Strategic_Plan of the #Egyptian_Nanotech_Center are graphene transparent electrode, computational modeling and simulation, thin-film silicon photovoltaics, and nano-biotechnology.
#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.
#Borophene is one of the three nanomaterials have been had the highest amount of #average_citation_per_article during the last three years.
Addition of 5% reduced #graphene oxide to the carbon black anode material, resulted in a 324% increase in the #anode_discharge capacity in preliminary #battery testing results.
About 70 % of #nanopublications are published jointly by more than one country each year. Some states, such as Saudi Arabia, have the highest share of #joint_nano_articles (more than 85 %), and some, like China, has the lowest percentage.
#Post_CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) and High-performance treatment of water & waste resources are two of the five areas priorities of the South Korea Nano-Convergence 2020 Program.
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.
#Nanozymes have recently been discovered as a new breakthrough which comes up with a promising insight into the next generations of #bionanomaterials in various industrial fields.
Decreasing the production cost of #graphene_oxide up to 22 € per kg will make it applicable for areas such as #concrete and #asphalt bitumen.
Almost half of patents published by #Tsinghua_University in 2018 are in the field of nanotechnology indicating nanotechnology as one of the strongest research areas of the university.
#Nanofluids are mainly used as coolant in #heat_transfer equipment, but novel applications include electromagnetic machines, electronic vehicles, data centers, fuel cells, and so on.
Nanotechnology and #IoT are beginning to touch almost every area of industry. #Microchip powered #sensor technology has the potential to power IoT devices.
China, Japan, South Korea, Iran, and Taiwan are the most active Asian countries in the introduction of #nanotechnology_products into the global markets.
#Gold_nanoparticles #market will rapidly grow in the North America due to their use in #tunneling_microscopy and especially in the #health_sector.
The parties involved in #strategic_research_agenda of Netherlands Nano Initiative (NNI) are requierd to invest € 100 million annually in order to achieve the objectives of the plan by 2020.
Rapid expansion of the #electronics and #IT sector together with the increasing demand in the #health sector will positively influence the #silver_nanoparticles #market. South Korea and China are expected to acquire the largest shares of revenue in this industry.
