Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
The Eastern European contributors to the August 2010 conference describe the experiments they have been conducting in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, and computer science. Several papers explore different materials for polycrystalline solar cells and bioactive ceramics for bone implants. Thirty papers from Shizuoka University propose a thermal neutron detector built on a cadmium telluride semiconductor, a field emitter array with a built-in suppressor gate, and a wastewater treatment process combining electro-coagulation and flocculation. Other topics of the 90 papers include an electrodynamic human motion energy converter, recycling of carbon fiber reinforced plastics, multi-camera optical glyph tracking, and photoluminescence in silicon and zinc oxide nanowires.
