Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

Nanotechnology policy making – voluntary tools (Nanowerk Spotlight) The first part of this survey, which we posted yesterday in our Nanowerk Spotlight, introduces nanotechnology policy making and the reasons for its complexity, and offers a panorama of the set of mandatory tools that are currently available to regulate nanotechnologies . The second part, today, provides an outlook of the set ... Read More »

Advances in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology May Play a Major Role in the Brain Activity Mapping Project The scientific tools are not yet available to build a comprehensive map of the activity in the most complicated 3 pounds of material in the world — the human brain, scientists say in a newly published article. It describes the technologies that could be ... Read More »

Combining Nanowires and Memristors Could Lead to Brain-like Computing For decades now, researchers have been trying to get computers to behave like artificial brains instead of merely binary data crunchers. One of the obstacles in creating this capability has been that computers are based on silicon CMOS chips rather than the dendrites and synapses found in the human brain. One ... Read More »

Researchers in the UK, China and Germany have come up with a new way to couple light to unidirectional surface plasmon polaritons using a metasurface. Their technique could be useful for making integrated plasmonic circuits that can be controlled using an electric current. SEM image of the metasurface Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are quasiparticles and are quantum phenomena that arise ... Read More »
