11 August, 2003 | Supplied by: IDM Instruments
Combine the reliable, rotational position feedback of Celesco's two wire, 4-20 mA current loop signal with the linearity and resolution of a plastic-hybrid potentiometer, than package it in stainless steel sealed to IP68 submersible standards, and the result is an accurate and safe RT9420 sensor.
New manufacturing technique for microelectronics
24 July, 2003
About every 18 months, the number of transistors in computer chips doubles - the direct result of ever-shrinking sizes. By decreasing the size of these components and consequently, fitting more of them onto a single chip, computer speed and power improves. Thanks to a new manufacturing technique - developed by an international team of researchers which includes Paul Nealey, a University of Wisconsin-Madison chemical engineer - manufacturing the minute may soon be cheaper and more exact.
New approach to solid-state lighting
17 July, 2003
In a different approach to creating white light, several researchers at the Department of Energy's (DOE) Sandia National Laboratories have developed what is claimed to be the first solid-state white light-emitting device using quantum dots. In the future, the use of quantum dots as light-emitting phosphors may represent a major application of nanotechnology.

Silva attracted by magnetics group
19 June, 2003
Magnets form the basis of computer technology, so the speed at which magnets can act and react has become extremely important. The Nanomagnetics and Spin Dynamics (NSD) group in the School of Physics recently hosted Dr Tom Silva, from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Colorado, to work with them on a development of a high speed magnetometer which measures magnetisation at very short time scales.
