Octillion Corp. (OTCBB:OCTL), a next-generation alternative and renewable energy technology incubator, today announced its sponsorship of the 2008 Nanoscale Science and Engineering Conference at Oakland University (www2.oakland.edu/research/nanotech).
The conference, scheduled for August 18th on the Rochester, Michigan campus of Oakland University, establishes a platform for multidisciplinary collaboration between researchers, institutions, and entrepreneurs in the fields of nanoscale science and engineering. Participants will be identifying collaborators and sharing knowledge of the latest research and development in areas ranging from nanomanufacturing and nanodevices to nanomedicine and ethics.
“Octillion is proud to support Oakland University in its significant efforts to catalyze interdisciplinary and nanoscale research and development in the Midwest,” stated Mr. Nicholas Cucinelli, President and CEO of Octillion Corp. “Oakland University and the surrounding region host a great number of top-notch scientists and engineers, and we look forward to this opportunity to share our expertise and seek collaborators for our NanoPower Window project.”
Oakland University is one of the 82 U.S. “Doctoral/Research Universities” rated by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Created in 1957, Oakland University leverages its location in the heart of Michigan’s “Automation Alley” (www.automationalley.com) to support hundreds of partnerships with hospitals, Fortune 500 companies, cities, government agencies, and educational institutions.
About Octillion Corp.
Octillion Corp., together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, is a next generation technology incubator focused on the identification, acquisition, development, and commercialization of alternative and renewable energy technologies.
Through established relationships with universities, research institutions, government agencies, and start-up companies, we strive to identify technologies and business opportunities on the leading edge of innovation that have the potential of serving significant and unmet market needs.
Once a technology has been identified, we fund the research and development activities relating to the technology with the intention of ultimately, if warranted, licensing, commercializing and marketing the subject technology, either through internal resources, collaborative agreements or otherwise.
Unique to our business model is the use of established research infrastructure owned by the various organizations we work with, saving us significant capital which would otherwise be required for such things as land and building acquisition, equipment and furniture purchases, and other incidental start up costs. As a result, we are able to benefit from leading edge research and development while employing significantly less capital than conventional organizations.
Among our current research and development activities is the development of a technology that could adapt existing home and office glass windows into ones capable of generating electricity from solar energy without losing significant transparency or requiring major changes in manufacturing infrastructure.
The technological potential of adapting existing glass windows into ones capable of generating electricity from the sun’s solar energy has been made possible through a ground breaking discovery of an electrochemical and ultrasound process that produces identically sized (1 to 4 nanometers in diameter) highly luminescent nanoparticles of silicon that provide varying wavelengths of photoluminescence with high quantum down conversion efficiency of short wavelengths (50% to 60%).
When thin films of silicon nanoparticles are deposited (sprayed) onto silicon substrates, ultraviolet light is absorbed and converted into electrical current. With appropriate connections, the films act as nanosilicon photovoltaic solar cells that convert solar radiation to electrical energy.
We are also developing a system to harness the kinetic energy of vehicles in motion as part of a broader effort to enhance the sustainability and energy efficiency of transportation infrastructures and systems.
