Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

At the scale of the very small, physics can get peculiar. A University of Michigan biomedical engineering professor has discovered a new instance of such a nanoscale phenomenon—one that could lead to faster, less expensive portable diagnostic devices and push back frontiers in building micro-mechanical and “lab on a chip” devices. In our macroscale world, materials called conductors effectively transmit ... Read More »

Well who can claim that their car is totally free of scratches?  It seems that concept car creator Daniel Garcia has the answer. The Spaniard’s latest conception uses nanotechnology to do it’s work and enable the car to repair its own paint job! Apparently the electronic paint system will creep over the whole car to create a new looking motor. ... Read More »

Chemists at New York University and China’s Nanjing University have created a DNA assembly line that has the potential to create novel materials efficiently on the nanoscale. Their work is reported in the latest issue of the journal Nature. “An industrial assembly line includes a factory, workers, and a conveyor system,” said NYU Chemistry Professor Nadrian Seeman, the study’s senior author. ...
