Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

Nanodot normally focuses on longer-term nanotechnologies such as molecular manufacturing, but we do like to keep an eye on how different countries compare to each other in nanotech and technology in general. Below is an excerpt from a recent Lux Research announcement; you can read the full PDF here: U.S. Risks Losing Global Leadership in Nanotech While the U.S. still ... Read More »

Electronic components that are virtually invisible to the naked eye could potentially be used in many appliances and gadgets. This is the conclusion of a study by McGill University, which was carried out to measure how nano-particles could be used in tandem with solar technology, the Montreal Gazette reports. Researchers discovered that the microscopic particles were able to create voltages ... Read More »

Nanotechnology has many advantages it has changed the world of living and raised the standard too but also has some implications such as envoirnmental, health, and societal implications. Nanotechnology will influence society in different ways that may be difficult to predict. Societal implications are the impacts of nanotechnology on the environment and surroundings of the living beings. Nanotechnology   has lead ... Read More »

(PhysOrg.com) — A University of Connecticut chemistry professor’s nanotechnology research will be useful in alternative fuel development. A cover story in the September issue of Small, a prestigious nanotechnology journal, features a method developed by UConn chemistry professor Steven Suib for the production of a nano-sized crystalline material that will be used for energy conservation.
