Ambios Technology Expands Facilities

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Ambios Technology Inc. announced that it has signed a multiyear agreement that doubles the size of its Santa Cruz, Calif., headquarters. The additional space will be used to substantially increase manufacturing, engineering and research facilities. Ambios Technology makes surface measurement and visualization instruments, including atomic force microscopes, stylus-type profilometers, and scanning white-light interferometers, used in high-resolution research and nanotechnology. "Our steady 20-plus percent growth per year is largely attributable to our access to the emerging nanotechnology...Read full article

    Glossary
    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    nanotechnology
    The use of atoms, molecules and molecular-scale structures to enhance existing technology and develop new materials and devices. The goal of this technology is to manipulate atomic and molecular particles to create devices that are thousands of times smaller and faster than those of the current microtechnologies.
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
    white light
    Light perceived as achromatic, that is, without hue.
