Merely Human? That’s So Yesterday
ON a Tuesday evening this spring, Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google, became part man and part machine. About 40 people, all gathered here at a NASA campus for a nine-day, $15,000 course at Singularity University, saw it happen. While the flesh-and-blood version of Mr. Brin sat miles away at a computer capable of remotely steering a robot, the gizmo ... Read More »

Chemists going green in world of nanotech
“Green” is a ubiquitous label that is even creeping into nanotechnology. But to engineer designs so small they can only be seen through the most powerful microscopes – plus use renewable materials and no harmful processing chemicals – is no easy feat, Renzo Shamey and Khaled El-Tahlawy discovered. The two chemists at N.C. State University’s College of Textiles set out ... Read More »
Towards nanowire solar cells with a 65-percent efficiency
TU/e researchers want to develop solar cells with an efficiency of over 65 percent by means of nanotechnology. In Southern Europe and North Africa these new solar cells can generate a substantial portion of the European demand for electricity. The Dutch government reserves EUR 1.2 million for the research. An agency of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, will grant the ... Read More »
US view nanotechnology as one of the most promising technologies able to provide the greatest economic benefits to society.
New technologies are changing our world fast, as is obvious to anyone using the latest smart phone, wearing the latest nano-fiber fabric, or filling a prescription for the latest biotech-derived medicine. Now the US President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) wants to hear from you about how the Federal government can best use its resources so three ... Read More »
