Nanotechnology Park Sri Lanka
Located on 50 Acres of lush land, tranquil and verdant, creating an ideal space for #39;thinking #39;, SLINTEC aims to develop a world-class Nanotechnology Park in Sri Lanka by attracting investments and establishing collaborations with local as well as global companies. Perfectly connected via highways, surrounded by a knowledge hub of universities and only 45 minutes from the commercial center that is Colombo, the Park offers a perfect synergy of serenity and convenience. The Park creates opportunities for all businesses to develop new products through a collaborative innovation process, taking them from research through development toward commercialization. The foundation for this framework is the Nanotechnology Centre of Excellence (NCE), which marks the first phase of the development of the Park.

Published on 4 Feb 2013 Nanotechnology, science of the future. Professors, scientists, researchers and engineers of Iran #39;s Basij or (Volunteer Forces) who scpeicalize in the field of nanotechnology have held a conference at Amir Kabir Unviversity of Technology in Tehran. Nanotechnology is simply the manipulation of matter on an atomic and molecular scale, which may be able to create many new materials and devices applicable to the fields of medicine, electronics, biomaterials and energy production. Iran has advanced tremendously in the past years in nanotechnology Nanoctechnology can be broken down into nanocomposites which can also be used in agriculture, automotive industry and building materials. Iran has recently unveiled eight nano carbon products with carbon structure; grapheme, graphene oxide, single-walled and multi-walled nano tubes, carbon nano filters, carbon nano balls and porous nano graphenes. According to Iran #39;s Nanotechnology Initiative Council (INIC) over 3% of the world publications on nanotechnology belong to Iranian researchers and scientists. Iran also plans to export the new nano products to regional countries.

Nano Track - Self cleaning coating on glass with nanotechnology, test with dirty water
Nano Track offers a coating that makes most surfaces become almost maintenance free and easily cleaned. This is because the coating makes the surface water repellent (hydrophobic) with very strong anti-stick properties. Because of this, dirt is picked up by water and then gets carried away. It also means that fouling can #39;t grow on the surface. The coating is weather and UV resistant and it even withstands temperature changes, both plus and minus over time. This probably leads to an extended lifetime of the product. In regards to health, environmenta and safety our coating does not contain any nanoparticles. We use SiO2 liquid and it is called "nano" because of it #39;s thickness which is below 100nm (nm = nanometer). The coating works with small modifications on glass, glazed ceramics, plastic, painted surfaces like automotive paint, precious metals, textile, microporous surfaces and stone (mineral surfaces).

NEW YORK, Jan. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

Solid State Thin Film Battery: Market Shares, Strategies, and Forecasts, Worldwide, Nanotechnology, 2013 to 2019

http://www.reportlinker.com/p01084201/Solid-State-Thin-Film-Battery-Market-Shares-Strategies-and-Forecasts-Worldwide-Nanotechnology-2013-to-2019.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Electronic_Component_and_Semiconductor

Batteries are changing. Solid state batteries permit units to be miniaturized, standalone, and portable. Solid-state batteries have advantages in power and density: low-power draw and high-energy density. They have limitations in that there is difficulty getting high currents across solidsolid interfaces.

Power delivery is different in solid state thin film batteries, there is more power per given weight. The very small and very thin size of solid state batteries helps to reduce the physical size of the sensor or device using the battery. Units can stay in the field longer. Solid state batteries can store harvested energy. When combined with energy harvesting solid state batteries can make a device stay in the field almost indefinitely, last longer, power sensors better.

Temperature is a factor with batteries. The solid state batteries work in a very broad range of temperatures, making them able to be used for ruggedized applications. Solid state batteries are ecofriendly. Compared with traditional batteries, solid state thin film batteries are less toxic to the environment.

Development trends are pointing toward integration and miniaturization. Many technologies have progressed down the curve, but traditional batteries have not kept pace. The technology adoption of solid state batteries has implications to the chip grid. One key implication is a drive to integrate intelligent rechargeable energy storage into the chip grid. In order to achieve this requirement, a new product technology has been embraced: Solid state rechargeable energy storage devices are far more useful than non-rechargeable devices.

Thin film battery market driving forces include creating business inflection by delivering technology that supports entirely new capabilities. Sensor networks are creating demand for thin film solid state devices. Vendors doubled revenue and almost tripled production volume from first quarter. Multiple customers are moving into production with innovative products after successful trials.

A solid state battery electrolyte is a solid, not porous liquid. The solid is denser than liquid, contributing to the higher energy density. Charging is complex. In an energy-harvesting application, where the discharge is only a little and then there is a trickle back up, the number of recharge cycles goes way up. The cycles increase by the inverse of the depth of discharge. Long shelf life is a benefit of being a solid state battery. The fact that the battery housing does not need to deal with gases and vapors as a part of the charging/discharging process is another advantage.

According to IBM, the world continues to get "smaller" and "flatter." Being connected holds new potential: the planet is becoming smarter because sensors let us manage the environment. Intelligence is being infused into the way the world works.
