Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

Humans have survived ice ages and deadly pandemics to become the dominant species on Earth, even if our reign over the planet barely represents a blip in a geological record that has seen countless living organisms come and go. We have adapted to live almost anywhere, and have harnessed the power of nature by splitting atoms and splicing DNA to ... Read More »

Many major food companies have become hesitant to promote their research into the potential of nanotechnology for fear of piquing consumer concerns while it is still in its infancy, according to an expert from market researcher Lux Research. Nanotechnology refers to controlling matter at an atomic or molecular scale measured in nanometers, or millionths of millimeters. In the food industry, ... Read More »

Russian nuclear physicists at the “Alpha” Research and Production Facility in Dubna have developed an advanced apparatus for plasmapheresis. There is no analogous apparatus elsewhere in the world. According to the developers, the purification of blood using nanotechnology saves the lives of Russians from atherosclerosis and many other serious illnesses. There is a need to remove toxins from blood to ... Read More »
