announced an alliance with Canada-based Morph Technologies Inc., Integran Technologies Inc., and U.S.-based PowerMetal Technologies to develop and commercialize a nanocrystalline metal/polymer hybrid technology that will
be used to manufacture extremely lightweight components with the strength and
stiffness of metal and the design flexibility and lightweight benefits of
high-performance thermoplastics.
Forensic
detectives get a new look
bangkokpost.com October 25th, 2007
Invisible traces of bodily fluids left behind at crime scenes can now be easily
detected, thanks to nanocrystal eyeglasses developed
by a group of Thai scientists. The eyeglasses will enable forensic teams to
clearly see fluids such as blood, saliva, lymph and sperm, which are vital
clues in helping the authorities track down crime perpetrators, said Jiti Nukaew, director of King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang's
(KMITL) nanotechnology research centre. To create the special eyeglasses,
scientists applied nano crystallised indium oxynitride to glass or plastic lenses to create special
lenses capable of filtering varying wavelengths of light.
