Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

Researchers are reporting advancements in “metamaterials,” used in such optical technology as ultra-powerful microscopes, computers and possibly an invisibility cloak, according to Purdue University . The university news service reported that metamaterial research often hits a snag because too much light is “lost” or absorbed by metals such as silver and gold contained in the metamaterials. This makes them impractical ... Read More »

Mesothelioma has long been linked to the inhalation and exposure to asbestos fibers and dust, so when scientists uncovered an additional potential cause for this incurable form of lung cancer, the unthinkable became a reality. According to researchers based out of the Woodrow Wilson International Centre for Scholars in Washington D.C., the early 90’s development of carbon nanotubes has been ... Read More »

Two teams of researchers lead by academics at London South Bank University (LSBU) have been awarded funding from the European Union to help develop innovative, environmentally friendly technology which will contribute towards the fight against climate change. The first project will examine ways to reduce energy use in the cold storage of food, reducing the impact of refrigeration on global ... Read More »

The State University of New York (SUNY), in partnership with The Research Foundation of SUNY and SUNY campuses statewide, has launched five regional “Technology Transfer” hubs across the SUNY research enterprise as part of a novel effort to spur new high-tech business opportunities and stimulate economic growth across New York State. The move is in direct alignment with the SUNY ... Read More »

Although nanotechnology has significant impact in all felids of life. it has impressive applications in almost every area of work but it also has some major disadvantages that cannot be neglected. Nanotechnology negative side is quite bright some of its disadvantages are listed below: One of the biggest disadvantage that world is facing because of nanotechnology is the lack of ... Read More »

Courtesy of Charles Lieber A new device, small enough to be used for sensitive probing of the interior of cells, has been developed by Harvard chemists and engineers. Pictured is the delivery of a two-terminal nanoscale electronic sensor into single cells. Chemists and engineers at Harvard University have fashioned nanowires into a new type of V-shaped transistor small enough to ... Read More »

When someone says “nanotechnology” to me, I get very Star Trekkie. My ears begin to taper elvishly. My eyebrows arch inquisitively. I embrace a peculiar affection for sticking my head into an upturned bowl. I develop a fondness for soaring arias and cavorting with semi-clad women of an arable hue. But I have been corrupted by an unnatural relationship with ... Read More »
