“Micronova is one of the most scientific nano- research institutes in Europe. Therefore we are glad to have come to this agreement,” comments Schmid the order. By providing a steady growing number of advanced research institutes and universities with electron-beam lithography systems Vistec has de- monstrated that its technology is state-of-the-art and best choice. Vistec is known for its great support to its customers. But not only do our customers bene- fit from the cooperation, we do it as well. Having such a strong connection to cutting edge research institutes like Micronova enables us to continue the development of our technology to the demands of an even wider target group.”

Next Top Energy Innovator. Vorbeck, in partnership with the Pacific Northwest National Labs (PNNL) and Princeton University, is leading the effort to commercialize next generation lithium batteries incorporating graphene technology. This new innovation would realize major improvements in the performance of the batteries, enabling faster-char- ging, higher powered batteries for transportation and consumer electronics.
V
High performance batteries developed by PNNL using Vorbeck‘s patented graphene technology, known as Vor-x™, have produced record breaking energy storage capacities. Batteries using graphene have significantly faster recharge rates than current
orbeck Materials is one of three winners of US-DOE‘s competition to be named America‘s
rechargeable batteries. Smartphones powered by these batteries will be able to charge in 10 minutes and last for 24 hours of active use. Electric cars with a current range of 100 miles after 10-12 hours of recharge will have a range of 400 miles.

he WITec Paper Award 2011 goes to Diedrich A. Schmidt, North Carolina A&T State Univer-
sity, USA, Taisuke Ohta and Thomas E. Beechem both from the Sandia National Laboratories, USA, for their paper: “Strain and charge carrier cou- pling in epitaxial graphene”, Physical Review B, Vol. 84, Issue 23, Article 235422, DOI:10.1103/ PhysRevB.84.235422. Each year the WITec Paper Award honors the best peer-reviewed scientific paper including results and images acquired with a WITec microscope system.

G Sciences, Inc. has been selected by the Air Force Research Laboratory to develop ultrahigh-
energy ultracapacitors for use in space energy sto- rage systems. XGSs’ graphene-based energy storage materials have demonstrated significant increases in storage capacity over traditional activated carbon and are manufactured in a commercially-proven, environmentally friendly, low-cost process.
Last year, XG Sciences and Hanwha Chemical entered into a series of agreements to create a stra- tegic partnership. Under the agreements, Hanwha Chemical purchased a minority stake in XG Sciences
