UC grant will help commercialize nanolaser for faster computer chips
October 8, 2012:
Thanks to a new Proof of Concept grant from the University of California, Berkeley mechanical engineer Xiang Zhang will be able to build a prototype of his innovative “plasmon nanolaser,” faciitating the process of turning a lab-bench invention into a commercially viable technology for improving computer chip speed for use in high-volume data communications.
New fiber nanogenerators could lead to electric clothing
February 12, 2010:
In research that gives literal meaning to the term “power suit,” UC Berkeley engineers have created energy-scavenging nanofibers that could one day be woven into clothing and textiles. The technology could eventually lead to wearable ‘smart clothes’ that can power hand-held electronics through ordinary body movements.
Engineers develop cancer-targeting nanoprobe sensors
January 29, 2010:
UC Berkeley scientists have created smart nanoprobes that may one day be used in the battle against cancer to selectively seek out and destroy tumor cells, as well as report back on the mission’s status.
