Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

Researchers in the U.S. and China have developed a carbon nanotube technology they suggest could form the basis of a rapid and highly sensitive new diagnostic platform. They claim tests have shown that the molecular imprinted polymer (MIP)  nanotube biosensor can recognize proteins with subpicogram per litre sensitivity in real time and even discriminate between Ca2+-induced conformational changes in protein structure. ...

Skip Lockard tackles emerging issues with three of the nation’s leading thinkers on nanotechnology regulation. Regulatory interest in evaluating nanotechnology’s potential health and environmental risks has grown, at multiple levels, in parallel with the expanding commercialization of nanotechnology-related products and processes in recent years. In 2008, for example, EPA’s Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics launched its well-publicized Nanoscale Materials ... Read More »

Science Applications International Corporation ((SAIC) San Diego, CA) received U.S. Patent 7,742,170 for a nanotechnology method and system for countering laser technology.  The systems use nanocomponent material that is tailored to cloak or obscure a target from detection by transmitted laser radiation. The nanodot material absorbs and/or down-converts the transmitted laser radiation. SAIC Inventors Scott Earl McNeil,  Martin Joseph Fritts, Roy Reed Heddleston ... Read More »

A sharp view of the starry sky is difficult, because the atmosphere constantly distorts the image. TU/e researcher Roger Hamelinck developed a new type of telescope mirror, which quickly corrects the image. His prototypes are required for future large telescopes, but also gives old telescopes a sharper view. The prototype of Hamelinck’s mirror system in one of its assembly steps. ... Read More »
