Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

Nanotechnology set to ramp up photovoltaics efficiency Solar cells may be at the threshold of becoming dramatically more effective thanks to nanotechnology. Scientists from the Nano-Science Centre at the Niels Bohr Institut, Denmark and the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland, have shown that a single nano-wire can concentrate sunlight up to 15 times of the normal sun light intensity. ...

Famous butterfly inspires anti-counterfeiting nanotechnologyAdd to … Anti-counterfeiting technology is a hot commodity: Everything from banknotes to credit cards to purses to replacement inkjet cartridges are potential clients for devices like holograms, which – being hard for counterfeiters to replicate at Kinko’s – prove that an item is the real deal. But holograms aren’t as hard to duplicate as once ... Read More »

Nanotechnology transforms molecular beams into functional nano-devices with controlled atomic architectures   Semiconductor nanowires are quasi-one-dimensional nanomaterials that have sparked a surge of interest as one of the most powerful and versatile nanotechnological building blocks with actual or potential impact on nanoelectronics, photonics, electromechanics, environmentally friendly energy conversion, biosensing, and neuro-engineering technologies. Bottom-up synthesis of nanowires through metal-catalyzed vapor phase ... Read More »

Fighting global warming with nanotechnology Can you imagine homes and buildings remaining cool with air conditioning, or cars that don’t heat up like ovens in open parking lots? Stanford scholars have just come up with a new form of cooling panel that reflects sunlight back into space, thus keeping man-made structures cool even in the daytime. The device, described in ...
