Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

Nanotechnology revenues are estimated to reach $1 Trillion worldwide by 2015. Nanotechnology is often considered as a new revolution, as was the industrial revolution, because nanotechnology manipulates matter at the atomic scale to create new applications in materials, medicine, robotics, electronics and energy. But what really is Nanotechnology? Nanotechnology is a field of applied science and technology which gives us ... Read More »

Haptic nanotechnology used to train dentists, regenerate dental pulp, determine food compositions and treat cranio-maxillofacial conditions Back in 2008, Ralph Hollis, Professor at the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University developed the magnetic levitation interface with the idea that “one day”, it may be used as a simulator in medical training and robotic-assisted procedures. The interface is designed for immediate response ... Read More »

The iPhone 4 contains a gyroscope – run by what seems to be an off-the-shelf chip. The iFixit crew and Chipworks used a scanning electron microscope to take a really close look at this amazing piece of nanotechnology. A mechanical gyroscope uses a spinning rotor in the centre to maintain a reference point in 3D space: if the frame is ... Read More »

Irregular pores, low flow rates: The plastic membrane filters used in sterile filtration do not always ensure that conditions are really sterile. Filter membranes of aluminum oxide are more reliable – the size of the nanopores can be determined with precision. Even the smallest viruses cannot pass through the membrane. The good ones are kept, the bad ones done away ... Read More »

On May 18-20th the nanotech manufacturer in Russia NT-MDT Co. and one of the main Russian scientific nanocenters the Kurchatov Institute held an international conference “Nanoeducation: the main approaches and perspectives”. The meeting had a unique format – the first educational international conference with trainings on working with nanoeducational equipment for teachers. 185 participants took part in the event, including ...
