The unexpected superior switching performance (low leakage current, and steep sub-threshold slope) shown experimentally and analysed theoretically, demonstrate hitherto unexplored routes for improvements for transistors based on disordered silicon films. By making the conduction channel in these disordered transistors very thin, the team has shown this technology will enable the design of low power memory for large area electronics based on a low-cost industry standard material processing route. ballard.co.ukFri, 08 Aug 2008 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.ballard.co.uk/press_releases/company_releases.aspx?story=1229Surrey Satellite Technology group is exhibiting at the 22nd Annual AIAA/USU Conference on Small Satellites in Utah, 11th-14th August.ballard.co.ukThu, 07 Aug 2008 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.ballard.co.uk/press_releases/company_releases.aspx?story=1227Complex computer encryption codes could be solved and new drug design developed significantly faster thanks to new research carried out by the University of Surrey. ballard.co.ukWed, 06 Aug 2008 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.ballard.co.uk/press_releases/company_releases.aspx?story=1228The University of Surrey will be holding an Open Day on Saturday 6 September. ballard.co.ukWed, 06 Aug 2008 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.ballard.co.uk/press_releases/company_releases.aspx?story=1226Leading small satellite manufacturer, Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL), has set up a new subsidiary in the United States to take advantage of the growing international demand for economical, responsive and highly capable spacecraft for a broad range of applications.ballard.co.ukTue, 05 Aug 2008 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.ballard.co.uk/press_releases/company_releases.aspx?story=1224Invensys Process Systems (IPS), a global technology, software and consulting firm, has released the newest version of SimSci-Esscor’s INPLANT™ simulation software, a program that rigorously simulates multiphase flow in plant utility and relief networks.

But, on retirement they may find that this is indeed just a dream as their sleep can actually become more and more disturbed. For this reason Katharina Lederle, a Marie Curie Research Fellow, and Dr. Samantha Hopkins, both from the Centre for Chronobiology at the University of Surrey, are looking to recruit people over the age of 60 who have problems sleeping to see if exposure to light can help improve sleep in their homes. ballard.co.ukThu, 24 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT
