Read The Solution is the Government. Get Stimulus Money to Survive May 2009 - Abstract - Everywhere there are signs of economic trouble in the nanotech world. Nanogen goes chapter 11. Arrowhead loses more money. Nanophase changes management. Another nanotech company announces layoffs. A nanotech company tells of retrenchment. The primary strategic issue is where to find resources to survive. Most nanotech executives shrug when asked the question but there is only one possible answer. Swallow your pride as an independent entrepreneur. Go for the government stimulus money! Do it locally and quickly."

From Almost No Cost Generation of Catalyst Patterns for Growth of Large-Scale Densely Aligned SWCNTs
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are very important especially in electronics miniaturization due to their excellent electric properties different from the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) variants. CNT can be synthesized via many techniques including arc discharge, laser ablation, and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Among the various methods, CVD shows to be the most promising method for industrial-scale deposition, because of its price-per-unit ratio and it is capable of growing nanotubes directly on a desired substrate. However, the growth sites must be controlled by a careful deposition of the catalyst involved. In this article, we report a simple novel method to generate the catalyst pattern for growing high quality SWCNTs with very low cost, opening up another possibility to commercial scale applications of SWCNTs.

From New Nano Solar Developments in 2009
Nanotechnology can reduce costs, increase performance, and lower the environmental impacts of solar PV and CSP. Every month I read about nanotechnology impacts on solar photovoltaics and talk with start up / early stage companies and I am amazed and impressed by the many different and interesting research projects that report results. And by many new commercialization efforts, although I am often under NDA and cannot discuss those.
This column reports on a few developments over the last year with a particular focus on the increasing interest in nanocrystalline-based solar cells and on the use of Schottky barrier/junction approaches to increase solar cell efficiency. As well as on the use of Schottky junctions to replace p:n type solar cells with "perfect diode" based solar cells. Read the Whole Article

From Energy Storage Related Research at the UAlbany NanoCollege
The energy consumption is projected to double in the next fifty years. The low carbon foot print of renewables such as wind, solar, fuel cells, etc. makes them especially attractive in this era of environmental consciousness. The intermittent nature of energy from renewables is not suitable for commercial and residential grid applications, unless the power can be delivered 24/7, with minimum fluctuation. Therefore, the viability of renewables as a source of energy critically depends on energy storage technologies such as batteries and ultracapacitors. Read the Whole Article
