Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

Artist renderings of a nano-needle poking a single cell have become the symbol of nanotechnology, surfacing on covers of magazines and books for about a decade but actual nano-needles able to interrogate small cells without causing cellular damage have not become reality until recently. A Drexel University team of engineers, scientists and biologists have developed a carbon nanotube-based device for ... Read More »

Bangalore: Water-powered cars, synthetic skin and artificial photosynthesis: the possibilities of nanotechnology are plenty. But this emerging field has few takers in India, observed C.N.R. Rao, honorary president of the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Research (JNCASR) on Friday. “Worldwide nanotechnology is seen as an exciting new area of research, but not many Indians are working at the cutting edge ...

Rezayat made the remarks in the opening ceremony of the 8th Nanotechnology Conference for University Students on December 1, elaborating on the ... Read More »

Computers of the future will use atoms instead of chips for memory. That’s a simplified way of saying that within the next few years, we can expect miniaturization to go into the atomic level to bring to the consumer and the office more power computers that require significantly less power and possess lesser footprints. Using nanotechnology advances, the computers that ... Read More »

“Long-term, nanotech has the potential to be as significant as the steam engine, the transistor and the Internet.” (Tom Kalil, former Deputy Assistant to President Clinton for Technology and Economic Policy) Since its conceptual debut in 1959, nanotechnology has promised an staggering wealth of potential. The possibilities it suggests for uses as noble as space travel, to as mundane as ... Read More »
