Physics World Focus on Nanotechnology 2017
It's always challenging getting ideas out of the lab and into the marketplace, as this Physics World Focus makes clear. It examines several prototype devices and new materials at the very start of the commercialization process. It also explores “superhydrophobic” materials and graphene. More positively, it features spin-out firm Nanoco – which is commercializing quantum-dot technology – and David Gao, who parlayed expertise in atomic-scale modelling into a nanotech start-up. Finally, Daniel Twitchen and Matthew Markham describe an unusual type of diamond that could be used for quantum computing and could revolutionize medical imaging.
