People show their emotions in many diverse and specialized ways, some of which a computer can be programmed to detect. By employing nanotechnology, a camera and image analysis software, some computers are able to observe a user’s body language and, with proper programming can accurately interpret a person’s posture, restlessness and various facial expressions like grimacing, smiling or scowling. Nanotechnology ... Read More »

Researchers at Stony Brook University have developed a new sensor nanotechnology that could revolutionize personalized medicine by making it possible to instantly detect and monitor disease by simply exhaling once into a handheld device. The new research, “Nanosensor Device for Breath Acetone Detection,” will be published by American Scientific Publishers in the October 2010 issue of Sensor Letters. According to ... Read More »

A Case Western Reserve University researcher will receive a $2.3 million New Innovator Award today to further develop and broaden the uses of synthetic platelets and the technology that makes them work. Erin Lavik, associate professor of biomedical engineering, uses nanotechnology to build platelets of biodegradable polymers, which link with natural platelets to stem bleeding faster. She and fellow researchers ... Read More »

Reading reports of government plans for the regulation of nanotechnology sometimes feels like being on death row. The outcome is inevitable, and all you can do is hope that it will be short and painless. The European Commission has been debating regulations for the best part of a decade,and now apparently has been given a deadline of 2011 by the ... Read More »

If current news is any indication, Nanotechnology is poised to play a significant role in the development of clean, less expensive energy. The potential of nanotechnology for solving some of today’s greatest energy challenges is vast. Nanotechnology refers broadly to a field of applied science and technology whose unifying theme is the control of matter on the molecular level in ... Read More »

As we are facing the uncertainly in supply of crude oil, as well as affluent prices, other fuel source is a happening and hot topic. An interesting option could be ethanol, now made out of plants like corn and sugar cane. Companies and universities are eagerly working to grow this process of making ethanol from many other kinds of plant ... Read More »
