Scottish sensors grow micro-organisms better

Scientists are turning to Cumbernauld-based Gas Sensing Solutions to soup-up laboratory micro-organism incubators. Used to grow culture cells and tissues, and grow bacteria in stable environments, said GSS, their controls typically only measure up to ~5% CO2 concentration levels, but some researchers need 20% CO2 or higher. This is where GSS’s CO2 sensors come in. Based ...

Tokyo Tech moots BiSb for next-gen MRAM

Bismuth-antimony (BiSb) alloys are the best candidate for the first industrial application of topological insulators, a step towards spin-orbit torque magneto resistive memory (SOT-MRAM), with the potential to replace existing memory, according to scientists at the Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech). Led by Pham Nam Hai, the team has developed thin films of BiSb for a ...

NASA to try strained-layer super lattice imagers in space

NASA has turned to strained-layer super lattice (SLS) imagers for infra-red space cameras. They are based on earlier ‘quantum well infrared photodetectors’ (QWIPs) that are flying on Landsat 8, and will be flying Landsat 9, which monitor vegetation from space. SLS imaging arrays are fabricated on a semiconductor wafer, using hundreds of alternating epitaxially layers ...
