‘Nanotechnology’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Keithley webinar explores electrical measurements from Keithley Instruments, which we summarised at the time by saying "Keithley Instruments is hosting a free online seminar in which the company will explore the basics of electrical measurements, from nA to fA. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Ceram tests resilience of YSZ used in implants from CERAM: "Ceram is offering a full suite of testing for Yttria-Stabilised Zirconia (YSZ) destined for surgical implants, as defined in ISO 13356 standards. ".

In September 2009, we covered the news from Laser Lines (Industrial and Medical) - take a look at Subcontractor invests in Promaster laser system which says: "Laser Lines has completed its first UK installation of an Optec Promaster laser system at Laser Micromachining of St Asaph, North Wales.".

Take a look also at the news release from Digital Surf, Digital Surf updates Mountains software, as well as Heason to supply nanopositioning manipulators from Heason Technology, and Positioning stages with sub-nanometre resolution from PI (Physik Instrumente).
