Nanotechnology Demystified – Cont’d
Nanotechnology which deals with the research and development of tech at the nanoscale. The nanoscale is so tiny that it demands really powerful microscopes to view and it takes computer modeling to experiment with this minute world. Applications of nanotech date as old as stained glass used in window art in cathedrals. Those windows are…

Nanotech Demystified: nanomaterials
Nanotechnology deals with the control of matter at a molecular or atomic level; a scale at which materials demonstrate properties they wouldn’t on a larger scale. Nanotechnology has applications in medicine, electronics and it also promises amongst many things a new frontier of engineering and material science. As mentioned entire the properties of materials differ…

Nanotechnology Demystified: the future of health care
Nanotechnology can not only diagnosis and prevent diseases it goes on to treat them as well! To add the cherry on top, it does this with indefectible precision because nanomaterials can navigate their way to the specific areas they’re intended to repair, thereby reducing negative side effects. With nanotechnology cancer is no longer a big…

Eco-anarchists fight nanotechnology research with bombs
/ An eco-anarchist group known as Individuals Tending Towards Savagery (ITS) has been responsible for several bombings at prominent nanotechnology universities in Mexico over the past two years, Nature reports. Major advances in technology often stir opposition, and as Nature reports, nanotechnology is no exception: an eco-anarchist group known as Individuals Tending Towards Savagery (ITS) has been responsible…

Anker’s second-generation Nano II GaN chargers are even smaller than before
/ GaN gets better Anker’s GaN (gallium nitride) chargers are some of the best around, offering tiny sizes but powerful charging capabilities. Now, the company is introducing its second-generation GaN-based chargers: the Anker Nano II lineup. The new Nano II chargers use what Anker calls its “GaN II” technology, the company’s second-generation version of the…

Scientists use enzymes to sober up inebriated mice
Researchers in California have developed a way to quickly reduce the blood alcohol levels of drunken mice, potentially paving the way for a so-called “booze pill” that would instantaneously combat intoxication. The study, led by UCLA professor Yunfeng Lu and USC’s Cheng Ji, involves the combination of two enzymes, wrapped in a nanoscale shell. Drunken mice injected…

How nanotechnology is shaping the future
Nanotechnology — the manipulation of matter on a molecular level — to shape the future of a wide variety of industries. Consumer electronics, silicon, and health care are a few major areas where nanotechnology could provide major advances in the future, but those aren’t the only places where it can make an impact — researchers…

Smart microrobots walk autonomously with electronic ‘brains’
Cornell University researchers have installed electronic “brains” on solar-powered robots that are 100 to 250 micrometers in size — smaller than an ant’s head — so that they can walk autonomously without being externally controlled. While Cornell researchers and others have previously developed microscopic machines that can crawl, swim, walk and fold themselves up, there…
