Colourful future for nanowires – Nanoforum
Dutch scientists have worked out how to fine tune the stripes of alternating crystal lattices that form in semi-conducting nanowires. Control of such structures could lead to important advances in electronics and optics, including more efficient LEDs
Indium wins awards on two continents – Dataweek
Indium ’s Indium8.9 lead-free no-clean solder paste was honoured twice in two weeks with leading electronics assembly awards. It earned the Vision award at the Apex convention in Las Vegas, and just one week later, garnered the China Vision award
Scientists See New Mechanism for Superconductivity – Redorbit.com
Laboratory researchers have posited an explanation for superconductivity that may open the door to the discovery of new, unconventional forms of superconductivity. In a November 20 Nature letter, research led by Tuson Park and Joe D. Thompson
Indium can improve short-term memory
In 2000 a double-blind study using indium was undertaken at the TCM Academy in Bad Ischl, Austria in collaboration with the Austrian Morbus Alzheimer Society. It involved 24 Alzheimer’s patients, half were given indium plus a mixture of Chinese herbs while the other half were given the Chinese herbs alone.
After 30 days those taking indium showed an overall improvement in stamina and short-term memory by an average of 37 per cent compared to an 8 per cent improvement in the non-indium group.2
A larger follow-up study is now under way and HSI promises to keep you updated on the findings as soon as they become available.
