(Times of Israel) David Shamah - In the past nine years, Israeli nanotechnology researchers have filed 1,590 patents (769 granted so far), published 12,392 scholarly articles, and had 129 nano-success stories, which include establishing start-ups, selling ideas or technology to multinationals, or licensing a patent. Currently, there are over 1,600 ongoing research programs between Israeli universities and local or international companies studying the application of nanotech research conducted in Israel to a slew of industrial, infrastructure, and information technology issues. A good example is the Israeli energy tech firm 3GSolar, which is using nanotechnology to develop photovoltaic energy cells that will allow consumer devices to recharge themselves with ordinary lighting, thus eliminating a need for batteries.
