BP is to establish a GBP64 m ($100 m) international research centre, known as the BP International Centre for Advanced Materials, or BP-ICAM at The University of Manchester, UK. The ten year investment programme will fund research into advanced materials and is expected to support 25 new academic posts, along with 100 post-grad researchers and 80 postdoctoral fellows.

Bruker announced the release of the Photocon ductive Atomic Force Microscopy (pcAFM) module for its industry leading Dimension Icon(R) platform. The new accessory enables sample illumination while performing nanoscale electrical characterization. In conjunction with Bruker’s exclusive PeakForce TUNA(TM) technology, it uniquely enables highest resolution photoconductivity and correlated nanomechanical mapping for research on fragile organic light emitting diode (OLED) and organic photovoltaic (OPV) device samples. The pcAFM module is compatible with Bruker's turnkey 1ppm glove box configuration, addressing the most stringent environ- mental control needs of organic photoelectric mate- rials.

City Labs, Inc. has released its first commercial product, a tritium-based betavoltaic power source that enables low-power microelectronic and sensor applications where battery replacement is difficult, impossible, or life-threatening. The Model P100a betavoltaic power source provides a source of continuous nanoWatt power for twenty years or more in microelectronic platforms. Applications include: environmental pressure/temperature sensors, intelligence sensors, medical implants, trickle charging lithium batteries, semi-passive and active RFID tags, silicon clocks, SRAM memory backup, deep-sea oil well electronics, lower power processors (e.g. ASICs, FPGAs, MicroController Units, etc.).
As tested and confirmed by Lockheed Martin, the City Labs NanoTritiumTM betavoltaic is able to resist broad temperature extremes where traditional lithium batteries are subject to failure. Lockheed Martin tested previous versions of these newly available commercial power sources; they were found to be resistant to extreme temperatures (-50° C to +150° C; -58° F to 302° F), as well as extreme vibration and altitude.
