News About Nano Technology 18-JUL-08 en-us New Brunswick NJ (SPX) Jul 16, 2008 - A newly developed nano-sized electronic device is an important step toward helping astronomers see invisible light dating from the creation of the universe. This invisible light makes up 98% of the light emitted since the "big bang," and may provide insights into the earliest stages of star and galaxy formation almost 14 billion years ago.]]> ]]> Washington DC (SPX) Jul 15, 2008 - For 5,000 years the only way to shape metal has been by the "heat and beat" technique. Even with modern nanotechnology, metalworking involves carving metals with electron beams or etching them with acid.]]> Livermore CA (SPX) Jul 03, 2008 - Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researchers have captured time-series snapshots of a solid as it evolves on the ultra-fast timescale.]]> Troy NY (SPX) Jul 03, 2008 - Whoever penned the old adage "a watched pot never boils" surely never tried to heat up water in a pot lined with copper nanorods.]]> ]]> Argonne IL (SPX) Jul 03, 2008 - The Center for Nanoscale Materials' (CNM) newly operational Hard X-ray Nanoprobe at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory is one of the world's most powerful x-ray microscopes. ]]> Canberra, Australia (SPX) Jun 27, 2008 - The search for these natural but 'invisible' nanoparticles is important. If they can be proved to exist, the knowledge will help give us a deeper understanding of how gold can be transported and deposited by geological processes, and therefore help explorers to find new gold deposits in Australia.]]> Gaithersburg MD (SPX) Jun 17, 2008 - While the results may not rival the artistry of glassblowers in Europe and Latin America, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Cornell University have found beauty in a new fabrication technique called 'nanoglassblowing" that creates nanoscale (billionth of a meter) fluidic devices used to isolate and study single molecules in solution-including individual DNA strands.]]> Advertise in this newsletter or website click for advertising kit - PDF File ]]> Washington DC (SPX) May 22, 2008 - A major study published in Nature Nanotechnology suggests some forms of carbon nanotubes - a poster child for the "nanotechnology revolution" - could be as harmful as asbestos if inhaled in sufficient quantities.]]> Washington DC (SPX) May 05, 2008 - In a "major step" toward a practical energy source for powering tomorrow's nanomachines, researchers in Arizona report development of a new generation of sub-microscopic nanomotors that are up to 10 times more powerful than existing motors. Their study is scheduled for the May 27 issue of ACS Nano, a monthly journal.]]> Houston TX (SPX) Apr 28, 2008 - Lockheed Martin and Rice University have announced the creation of an innovative, strategic partnership to develop new technologies for a broad range of applications in electronics, energy and security. The Lockheed Martin Advanced Nanotechnology Center of Excellence at Rice University, or LANCER, will pair researchers from Lockheed Martin with Rice experts in carbon nanotechnology, photonics, plasmonics and more.]]> ADVERTISEMENT

Kelly Space & Technology Launches Eco-Friendly Wireless Lighting Control Technology


Kelly Space & Technology, Inc. launched an eco-friendly wireless lighting control technology known as WiseLight. WiseLight automatically enables commercial and government municipal users to save energy and costs. This green energy saving system automates scheduling, monitoring and control of outdoor lighting applications such as recreational fields, parking lots, billboards and other venues. The WiseLight system eliminates timer and photosensor inefficiencies and malfunctions and allows direct feedback to identify failed components, such as bulbs and fixtures, and initiates real-time customer-defined notifications for prompt repair.

The WiseLight hardware is installed between a lighting fixture and its power supply and operates lights only when needed or desired. The centralized command and control feature of the system enables users to monitor energy usage and control a single lamp or any combination of lamps via machine-to-machine wireless communications from a secure internet web site.

Field results prove that the patent-pending wireless lighting control system allows customers to save up to fifty (50%) percent in energy costs, while aiding organizations to achieve carbon-neutrality goals by reducing energy demand and generation.

The proprietary communications architecture behind the WiseLight technology is the core innovation. Because of its universal applicability to control and monitor virtually any sensor system, Kelly Space is applying this technology to several of its product lines, including ballistic protection, laser and detection system applications.

KST has established the Aerospace Research & Development Center (ARDC) at its modernized facilities to incubate and commercialize leading-edge technologies. ARDC programs are of national significance and have attracted key government interest to meet the nation's priorities in the field of aerospace and homeland security. KST is cooperating with entrepreneurial companies on joint technology developments.
