Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

I have followed carefully the nanotechnology-related developments for improving Li-ion batteries for use in mobile phones and other gadgets. However, I have been less enthusiastic about the prospects of nanotechnology in improving Li-ion batteries for use in electric vehicles (EVs). My skepticism was initially tickled by John Petersen over at Alt Energy Stocks, who I have referred to before in this blog, ... Read More »

Dr. Sushanta Mitra looks at a photo of microorganisms that convert coal into natural gas right in the ground. Photograph by: Candace Elliott, edmontonjournal.com EDMONTON – Bacteria that feed on coal seams and create methane gas could be coaxed to produce more of the clean-burning fuel, a new source of energy locked in the world’s vast coal deposits. That’s one ... Read More »

ANN ARBOR, Mich.—A delicate balance of atomic forces can be exploited to make nanoparticle superclusters that are uniform in size—an attribute that’s important for many nanotech applications but hard to accomplish, University of Michigan researchers say. The same type of forces are at work bringing the building blocks of viruses together, and the inorganic supercluster structures in this research are ... Read More »
