RFID: Nanotechnology Watch
In the near future, bad environments could produce good results. Whether it’s a bar code label or an RFID tag, the extreme temperature fluctuations, vibration, acceleration/deceleration, abrasion and overall rough handling containers can suffer in transit usually results in only one thing: damage to the label or tag. But in the future, rough handling might actually prove to be an ... Read More »

New Generation Reproductive Technologies (stem Cell-nanotechnology)
I. Advances in Embryonic and Placental Development 1.Abstract: Early embryonic development needs detailed investigations if we have to reduce embryonic mortality. Embryonic mortality details have been reviewed (wani, 2005). The reproductive abnormalities have been discussed and a sequential photographic presentation of embryonic mortality have recently been published (Khatoon et al 2007). The critical period when maximum embryonic losses go unnoticed ... Read More »
The University of Alaska Fairbanks has closed its nanotechnology office
More than $30 million in federal funds was spent; venture not commercially viable. Established in 2001, the Office of Electronic Miniaturization was envisioned as a hub for creating products in the emerging field of microscopic technology. But instead of producing commercially viable inventions, the office migrated toward basic research. That drift led to its closure, UAF spokeswoman Marmian Grimes said. ... Read More »
