Archer miniaturises Biochip gFET chip design

Highlights

• Archer Materials has advanced its Biochip gFET chip design with a significant

reduction in size.

• The Biochip size reduction was achieved by Archer personnel redesigning the

layout of the circuits creating the gFET transistors.

• Archer has sent the miniaturised chip designs for fabrication to a foundry partner,

Applied Nanolayers (“ANL”), based in the Netherlands.

• The miniaturised chips will undergo wafer dicing, assembly, packaging and related

electrical testing at Archer’s newly established outsourced semiconductor

assembly and testing (“OSAT”) partner, AOI Electronics in Japan.

• The delivery of the new miniature packaged chips is anticipated in mid-2024

Nature photographer captures rare, spectacular red sprites in skies over WA's Kimberley A West Australian photographer has captured on camera one of the world's rarest natural phenomena that's almost impossible to see with the naked eye. Kimberley man JJ Rao was out shooting a wet-season thunderstorm just outside of Derby when he was lucky enough to snap several red sprites. "About the blink of an eye and it's gone," he said. "You could sort of describe it as huge, feathery tendrils of reds and purples and specks of really bright red."

Australian solar technology

CSIRO has successfully launched its printed flexible solar cell technology into space aboard Australia’s largest private satellite, Optimus-1.

CSIRO is exploring the potential of printed flexible solar cells as a reliable energy source for future space endeavours, in collaboration with Australian space transportation provider, Space Machines Company.

CSIRO Space Program Director, Kimberley Clayfield, said a major challenge in the development of spacecraft is low-mass, high-efficiency power systems.

“CSIRO’s printed flexible solar cells could provide a reliable, lightweight energy solution for future space operations and exploration,” Ms Clayfield said.

Here is some more details about the Graphene biochip.

Archer’s biochip development involves integrating graphene with miniaturised lab-on-a-chip platforms for advanced medical diagnostics.

Archer’s Biochip

Archer’s Biochip innovation aims to integrate graphene field effect transistors (“gFETs”) into

advanced fluidic systems to create miniaturised lab-on-a-chip device platforms for medical

diagnostics. This could enable the ability to parallelise the detection of multiple biologically

relevant targets on a chip.

The Company demonstrated multiplexing readout for its advanced Biochip gFET devices by

designing and developing new hardware and software systems to readout the signal from four

gFET sensors at once on a single chip. This is a significant advancement over the earlier

generations of the Biochip system, which could only activate one-sensor-at-a-time, as

announced on 14 September 2023. Archer intends to apply its multiplexing capability in the

Biochip to test for multiple diseases on a single chip at once

Here is Australia's new technology

Archer is currently developing various gFET design techniques through the engagement of several commercial semiconductor foundry partners. This has the potential to increase the applications of the Biochip, improve quality control, and bolster the company’s supply chain resilience.

Early gFET chips at Archer designed for liquid gating and multiplexing have been validated through multi-project wafer and whole wafer runs with foundry partners in Europe. The semiconductor chip manufacturing processes and technology in each graphene foundry differ, including the characteristics of graphene within the devices. Performing wafer runs in several foundries is required as part of the gFET chip development process to optimise the gFET design and manufacturing for foundry readiness and compatibility.

Latest News for solar and green energy

ClearVue has partnered with leading U.S. vacuum insulated glazing supplier LuxWall Inc. to

develop a combined prototype to deliver window technology focused on getting to net-zero

• The ‘Zero Window’™ is expected to be the most energy-efficient and energy-generating window

on the market, appealing to progressive architects as well as helping the construction sector

meet sustainability targets

• The Zero Window prototype will be demonstrated at the AIA24 Conference on Architecture and

Design in Washington DC, USA in June 2024.

We have a massive oil platform that is off the coast of Australia rusting away maybe that can become a source of iron and copper and anything else the sea can use

Here’s some information from Australia about the window solar cells and a brochure from the ClearVue group

Australian tech to be used for a greenhouse. Maybe it will power business using the sunlight coming through the windows

System USA, Inc. plans to integrate ClearVue solar glass into a California solar greenhouse project that will generate approximately 107,000 kWh annually.

October 31, 2023 – Watsonville, California– ClearVue Technologies Limited (ASX: CPV), a smart building materials company, will deliver solar glazing to System USA, Inc. (Greenhouse System USA Inc.) of Watsonville, California (System USA) for a greenhouse project expected to provide approximately 82 kW of solar power and producing an estimated 107,000 kWh annually.

Australia has a lot of good tech.

I think that future storage technologies are the answer to reducing reliance on coal and gas as baseload for the grid.

I'm glad someone has been interested in joe cells. I was particularly interested after his ridicule by many learned people. I posted a link that I thought had some close links to LENR. The diffusion of gas through metal.

this might be a solution to having to dispose of solar panels.

Here's an interesting example of what a Company in Australia has achieved to change the recycling ideas of many Australians.

A wholly owned subsidiary of ASX-listed Lithium Australia Ltd (ASX: LIT), VSPC Pty Ltd (VSPC) has spent more than 20 years and around $35 million researching, developing and patenting processes for the cost-effective manufacture of high-purity, nano-scale materials, now primarily for next-generation lithium-ion batteries.

VSPC’s core technology enables efficient production of high-performance cathode powders – lithium ferro phosphate (LFP) in particular, as well as lithium manganese ferro phosphate (LMFP) – with a strong focus on safety, cost and sustainability.

Quote from Alan Smith

From Benchmark Mineral Intelligence Newsletter...

LG Chem said this week it will spend $3.2 billion to build a cathode production facility in Tennessee. The company is targeting 120,000 tonnes of cathode production a year by 2027. If it succeeds, this would more than double the potential cathode production of North America. The announcement is the latest direct foreign investment in Tennessee's history and further cements the state's growing position as a key battery hub in the US.

It comes following two years of rising cathode prices. Benchmark's Cathode Price Index has risen a third this year and is over double what it was in January 2021. In part, this is due to rising lithium carbonate prices which have risen by over 120% this year in China and are still trading at record high levels. To make things worse, some cathode plants are failing to receive the lithium they ordered in long-term contracts forcing them to buy material in spot markets.

Elsewhere, the three largest non-Chinese lithium producers are all continuing to invest in China, despite growing geopolitical risks. In a data-rich story this week, Benchmark Source looks at the quantities of lithium produced by Albermarle, Livent and SQM in China, North America, and Free Trade Agreement countries.

Batteries are more than just lithium, however. One often overlooked mineral in NCM cathodes is manganese. Although there is ample manganese ore, the capacity to refine it into the high-purity manganese sulphate required for batteries is almost entirely in China. Only two facilities outside of China are currently operational. In an article this week, Benchmark Source looks at the options outside of China.

On the other side of the battery is the anode, typically made from either natural or synthetic graphite. Although synthetic graphite has higher emissions, natural graphite isn't without its own set of woes. Violence in Mozambique and climate change are amongst the factors making its supply chain more fragile than that of synthetic graphite.

I'm not sure what this is about. I've followed these links for many years. Maybe the learned people of this forum will seriously appreciate the information. The mention of protons, hydrogen and diffusion through metal has prompted me to submit this. As an Australian, I watched this man Joe trying to share this information only to be ridiculed, much as Pons and Flashman. This was 1993. Anyway here is the link
