#New approach may be key to quantum dot solar cells with real gains in efficiency (Phys. org) Los alamos researchers have demonstrated an almost fourfold boost of the carrier multiplication yield with nanoengineered quantum dots.
A new study conducted within the Center for Advanced Solar Photophysics demonstrates that appropriately engineered core/shell nanostructures made of lead selenide
The long lifetime of these energetic holes facilitates an alternative relaxation mechanism via collisions with core-localized valence band electron
Qianglu Lin a CASP student working on the synthesis of these materials said A striking feature of the thick-shell Pbse/Cdse quantum dots is fairly bright visible emission from the shell observed simultaneously with the infrared emission from the core.
which underlies the observed enhancement of carrier multiplication likely relates to the interplay between core
while lower energy states still remain confined to the core. This separation leads to electronic decoupling of higher-from lower energy holes states which is observed responsible for the slowed cooling.
Even heads-up displays on vehicle dashboards could soon be a reality. The new technology also has major medical implications.

A low-cost, reusable sensor which uses nanotechnology to screen for and monitor diabetes and other conditions, has been developed by an interdisciplinary team of researchers from the University of Cambridge, for use both in clinics and home settings.
The sensors use nanotechnology to monitor levels of glucose, lactate and fructose in individuals with diabetes or urinary tract infections
Earlier this year, clinical trials of the sensors were carried out at Addenbrooke's Hospital to monitor glucose levels in 33 diabetic patients.
"These sensors can be used to screen for diabetes in resource-poor countries, where disposable test strips and other equipment are simply not affordable,

"To measure how good a transistor is, you measure its on-off ratioow completely can it turn off the current?
so you could make not just a screen but an entire flexible and transparent TV or computer."

So basically a Ram Air (Oxygen) induction that is super cooled used to ignite/burn rocket/hydrogen fuel.
I am guessing that due to the need for Ram Air at mach 5. 2 that this thing has to stop engine burn at orbit (due to lack of oxygen)

Maybe just takeoff requires Ram and not return? Do not try and bend the spoon.
The Ram air stuff does not work at slow speeds. 3. The diagram shows a LOX pump.
They use the temperature difference between the ram air coming in and the liquid hydrogen to run a closed cycle helium turbine.
