For many publicly traded company execs, a chance to open up a stock-market exchange like NASDAQ or NYSE is a thrill of a lifetime, one for which they might even get a haircut.
Such was the case Tuesday, September 18, when semiconductor equipment industry living legend and Ferrari fanatic Art Zafiropoulo of Ultratech (who by a shocking coincidence was in New York for the company's annual analyst day) opened trading on the Nasdaq floor.Write Comment (0 comments) |

No sooner had I posted a blog yesterday about Kovio, an emerging printed semiconductor company and its mysterious nanoparticle technology, than the researchers at Big Blue announced a breakthrough in what they call "nanoprinting." The method, developed at the company's site in Switzerland and presented in the September issue of Nature Nanotechnology, can achieve nanolithography-like patterns and densities using a self-assembly technique combined with aspects of old-school print techniques.
The research team managed to print particles down to 60 nm, using single-particle resolution to create both simple lines and complex particulate arrangements.Write Comment (0 comments) |
