Die geheimnisvolle Antimaterie ist nicht nur exotisches Beiwerk in Kinofilmen wie 'Illuminati', sondern auch ein faszinierendes Wissenschaftsgebiet. An der Forschungs-Neutronenquelle Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (FRM II) der Technischen Universitaet Muenchen werden die Antiteilchen von Elektronen gewonnen, die so genannten Positronen, und das in der weltweit hoechsten Intensitaet.

To date, a number of nanotechnology fabrication studies have focused on creating hierarchically ordered nanostructures using lithographic techniques. However, lithographic methods involve high processing and maintenance costs, and require an iterative, multi-step procedure that makes the structure formation process more complex and less reliable. By contrast, a novel nanofabrication method is fast and cost-effective, dispensing with the need for multistage lithography and externally applied fields. This new technique needs only a drop of diblock polymer solution, a curved upper surface and a flat silicon substrate, and a selective solvent. This is the first study of creating hierarchically ordered nanostructures composed of block copolymers with unprecedented regularity by controlled evaporative self-assembly.

Total and Laboratoire de Physique des Interfaces et des Couches Minces (LPICM), a joint R+D research team between the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and France's Ecole Polytechnique engineering school, today announce the creation of a joint research team focusing on thin film technologies for photovoltaic solar applications.
