Mar 12 | Application Notes
In the past few years, high precision inspection and measurement has undergone a revolution in quality and scale. Unfortunately, conventional inspection methods have failed to take advantage of these newer technologies. This app note from Keyence details ways to narrow this gap.

A team from UCLA revealed the creation of a new graphene nanostructure called graphene nanomesh, or GNM. The new structure is able to open up a band gap in a large sheet of graphene to create a highly uniform, continuous semiconducting thin film that may be processed using standard planar semiconductor processing methods.

A team led by Univ. of Wisconsin-Madison researchers has developed a new approach for creating powerful nanodevices, and their discoveries could pave the way for other researchers to begin more widespread development of these devices.

Built by university students in Missouri, the tractor-tread-equipped robot relies on an infrared camera and LIDAR technology to relay photographs of tight interior spaces like buildings or caves. Suitable for hunting terrorists or structural damage, the robots weighs about 200 pounds and costs $25,000. Future versions will likely get lighter and smaller.

A simple one-step process that produces both n-type and p-type doping of large-area graphene surfaces could facilitate use of the promising material for future electronic devices. The doping technique can also be used to increase conductivity in graphene nanoribbons used for interconnects.

I’ve always liked looking at the images in National Geographic. They are always so beautiful or so gut wrenching that I fell in love with the magazine during my college years. I also couldn’t live without going to Borders every Sunday and picking up the New York Times and Time to read as well. I was extremely happy when I found out that my family had subscribed to National Geographic recently, and had seen that our first issue arrived yesterday. In the issue there was an interesting article about bionics—something that I never really thought about until last year.

Employing some of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have shown that mismatched alloys are a good match for the future development of high performance thermoelectric devices. Thermoelectrics hold enormous potential for green energy production because of their ability to convert heat into electricity.

Watch a gecko walk up a wall. It defies gravity as it sticks to the surface no matter how smooth it appears to be. What's happening isn't magic. The gecko stays put because of the electrical attraction between millions of microscopic hairs on its feet and the surface. The principle applies to new research at Rice Univ., but in this case, the hairs figuratively come off the gecko and plant themselves on the wall.
