We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Nanotechnology",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Atomic force 'scopes support nanotech curriculum from
Agilent Technologies Europe, which we summarised at the time by saying "The University of Northern Iowa has purchased an Agilent 5500 atomic force microscope (AFM) for electrical characterisation and materials science studies, the 4th acquired by
the university in a year".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release FEI has opened a Nanoport in Shanghai, China from
FEI: "FEI NanoPorts are located in key centres of technology excellence where there is a critical number of customers and partners to encourage the advancement of nanoscale development".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Jeol USA
concerning its JIB-4500, JSM-7001F
- take a look at Technology in education of reintegrated scientist
which says: "Boston College has selected the new Jeol MultiBeam focused ion beam system and a field emission scanning electron microscope for its nanofabrication clean room facility in Newton, Massachusetts".
Take a look also at the news release from FEI, Developing tools for single-atom imaging,
as well as Best small tech application product of the year from Parallel Synthesis Technologies,
and Chance discovery has led to successful business from NanoSight.
