Highlights from the following were both interesting and familiar.
$18.5 Million Grant Establishes Center for Nanomanufacturing Systems for Mobile Computing
The University of Texas at Austin has been selected to receive an $18.5 million grant over the next five years from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to create and lead a nanosystems engineering research center.
The Nanomanufacturing Systems for Mobile Computing and Mobile Energy Technologies (NASCENT) will develop innovative nanomanufacturing, nanosculpting and nanometrology systems that could lead to versatile mobile computing devices such as wearable sensors, foldable laptops and rollable batteries .
With partners at the University of New Mexico and the University of California at Berkeley , NASCENT will create high-precision machines with integrated nanomaterials and multiscale models to enable the manufacturing of breakthrough nano-enabled mobile computing and energy devices.
These new technologies will have breakthrough performance in energy efficiency, computing, communications and data/energy storage capacity. For example, 40 percent of the energy used in cellphones is for reading and writing data to the phone's memory. Researchers at the center will develop emerging manufacturing technologies to reduce energy needed for cellphone memory storage by up to three-quarters, while increasing data storage density by more than five times its current capacity .
The center will also work toward developing silicon nanowires for improved anodes in lithium ion batteries. The nanowires could increase the storage capacity of batteries by fourfold.
Several industry partners will participate in NASCENT, including Texas Instruments, 3M, Lockheed Martin, Applied Materials and Corning Inc., among others.
