Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

ORLANDO – “The diameter of a single hair shaft is tens of thousands of nanometers,” said Dr. Adam Friedman. Nanotechnology is the branch of technology related to dimensions and tolerances ranging from 0.1 to 100 nanometers. “At this size, matter behaves somewhat differently,” Dr. Friedman, of Albert Einstein Medical Center in New York, said. As the size of material decreases, the ... Read More »

The next big thing in medical diagnostics could be minutes particles of rust, iron oxide, coated with the material from which sand is formed, silicon dioxide. These magnetic nanoparticles, a mere 29 to 230 nanometers across, can be used to trap antibodies to the virus that causes cervical cancer and to the bacteria that causes potentially lethal diarrhea. According to ... Read More »

For almost two years, molecular biologist Bénédicte Trouiller doused the drinking water of scores of lab mice with nano-titanium dioxide, the most common nanomaterial used in consumer products today. She knew that earlier studies conducted in test tubes and petri dishes had shown the same particle could cause disease. But her tests at a lab at UCLA’s School of Public ... Read More »

The world’s largest steel maker, ArcelorMital, says it has come up with a new kind of steel that the world has never seen before. Thanks to nanotechnology, the company says automakers can now match the weight of aluminum cars, but do it in steel at far lower cost. Specifically, ArcelorMital says it can take 188 pounds out of the body-in-white ... Read More »

Hydrogen is, without a doubt, the most reasonable means by which to move into an alternative energy future. It can be created by simply splitting water molecules, stores indefinitely, burns 10 times hotter than traditional natural gases, is the lightest element known making it easy to transport, and the byproducts of processing it for energy are chemically pure water and ...
