It's Time to Consider Nano-Electrotechnology Standards
If they haven't already started, NEMA Sections need to be forward thinking and begin working with the U.S. TAG's that represent their products in the IEC to create a road map for integrating nanotechnology standards that will compliment the end-product standards in the appropriate IEC Technical...

Nanotechnology for NEMA member product industries closer than you might think
TC 113 U.S. Technical Advisory Group Chair Dr. Brent Segal , Lockheed Martin Corp ., tells me that there are 2 camps when it comes to nanotechnology advancement; those that think nano is 10 years away, and those that have already been producing nano-enabled products for 10 years. A new IEC Technical...

Important nanoscale property needs standardization
A recent article released by Lawrence Berkeley Labs announced their new gold-based fabrication method that increases the electrical conductance of nanocrystals used in solar energy technologies by 100,000 times. Since electrical conductance is a critical element for solar electricity and solar fuels...

Nanotechnology Standards Essential for DICOS
When I learned that NEMA received an award from DHS to write a new Digital Communication in Security (DICOS) standard for airports, I couldn't help but think about the vital role nanotechnology will play in the functioning of critical sensor equipment used in high security facilities. Yet the reliability...

Nano standardization essential for reliability of special coatings
Nanotechnology has led to the introduction of novel coatings with water resistant surfaces that can help eliminate moisture condensation on high voltage insulators , that causes water droplets to simply roll off of them . This is a vital characteristic for these products because sparkover of an insulator...

Lighting Technologies Coming Full Circle
I came across a recent article reporting on a University of Rochester discovery of a laser-based manufacturing process that makes regular 60-watt incandescent light bulbs into nanotechnology-enabled ones as bright as a 100-watt bulb, capable of emitting a whiter light, and using no more energy to do...

Recent article suggests motor industry needs to start paying attention to nanotechnology
The work and findings described in this March 10 a rticle suggest to me that NEMA members who manufacture motors should start watching developments in nanotechnology if they haven't already. The article reports that "brush contacts made of carbon nanotubes had 10 times less resistance than did...

Solid-State Lighting Industry Should Get Involved in Nanotechnology Standards
A standard test method for the determination of quantum efficiency (power output) of quantum dots and nano-phosphors is under development at RTI International for consideration by the U.S. Technical Advisory Group to IEC TC 113 . The result of this method will be that industries that use these nanomaterials...
