Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

By Will Soutter IntroductionMemory is crucial to all computing devices, both for long-term storage of data, and for short-term storage whilst information is being processed. Currently, different technologies are used for different types of memory, as the properties of each type of memory are quite restrictive. Current Memory Technologies SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) is mainly used in high performance ... Read More »

Peter Wicks Peter Wicks Ethical Technology Technoprogressives need to align themselves with environmentalists who respect human aspirations. On 18 October 2011 the environmental NGO Greenpeace issued a press release welcoming a decision by the European Court of Justice (ECJ), ruling that cells derived from human embryos could not be patented, on the grounds (according to Greenpeace’s press release) that patents ...

An artist’s representation of fullerene cage growth via carbon absorption from surrounding hot gases. Some of the cages contain lanthanum metal atoms. Image courtesy National Science Foundation After exploring for 25 years, scientists have solved the question of how the iconic family of caged-carbon molecules known as buckyballs form. The results from Florida State University and the National Science Foundation-supported ... Read More »

UK food manufacturers have been urged to recognise the massive potential of nanotechnology in creating healthier foods. Tiny nano particles can deliver a more rapid hit of taste, thus enabling ingredients such as fat and salt to be reduced in recipes, which also reduces the cost of ingredients, Barry Park, theme manager at nanotechnology promotion body Nanotechnology Knowledge Transfer Network ...

Nano-FTIR can be applied for the chemical identification of nanoscale sample contaminations. This figure shows AFM images of a PMMA film on a Si surface. While the AFM phase contrast indicates the presence of a 100 nm size contamination, the determination of its chemical identity remains elusive from these images. Using nano-FTIR to record a local infrared spectrum in the ... Read More »
