During the Executive Forum on Materials Innovation at SEMICON Europa 2023 Emma Salmi, Head of Synthesis, presented ‘Canatu carbon nanotube membranes as a versatile material platform for EUV lithography.’ She highlighted the benefits of Canatu’s (Vantaa, Finland) unique carbon nanotube manufacturing process, emphasised the expertise gained from mass-producing EUV membranes since 2021, and elaborated on the customisation of these membranes for diverse applications such as EUV pellicles, debris filters and optical filters, highlighting remarkable versatility they offer.
Collaborating on wearables, health monitoring, automotive dashboards, smart product passport labels and single-use diagnostics, VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland is part of an unprecedented effort with altogether 46 partners from 11 EU countries. With new EU legislation concerning the sustainability of products around the corner, the push for more environmentally friendly electronics intensifies. Canatu participates in a single-use diagnostic pilot which seeks to revolutionise home glucose metabolism testing by introducing an environmentally advanced solution.
The smart home helps its residents to get through everyday life in a relaxed and comfortable way. Household appliances contribute to this with multiple benefits, as mechatronics manufacturer Marquardt GmbH (Rietheim-Weilheim, Germany) shows with its new control panels. Not only do they look good, they also adapt to the habits of their users. Almost all household appliances can be equipped with the visually high-quality and technically innovative control panels – from washing machines, dryers and dishwashers, cookers and ovens to coffee machines. Marquardt is thus heralding the next evolutionary stage in the operation of white goods.
