World’s largest steel maker will be commercially launching stronger nanostructured steel in 2 to 3 years

The world’s largest steel maker, ArcelorMital, has a new nanostructured steel which is not inherently lighter, but it’s so strong that automakers can use thinner gauges and that’s where part of the weight savings comes from. Another part of the weight savings comes from not having to use additional brackets, gussets or panels to strengthen …

Media seems to think Mubarak will fade away quietly – confirmed

In 2006 cables from wikileaks, Oman Soliman a U.S. diplomatic cable described Suleiman as “formidable” and says he is Mubarak’s “consigliere” on foreign policy. Mubarak made his consigliere number two in his regime and told his consigliere to open talks (make offers to the opposition). So now – Mubarak’s Top Spy Rejected by Cairo Streets …

Bio-nano-chip in human trials to spot cardiac disease, cancer, drug abuse

To obtain a saliva sample for the Nano-Bio-Chip, health care providers swab a patient’s gums with a cotton-tipped stick. The saliva is transferred to the disposable diagnostic microchip. The microchip is then inserted into an analyzer and within a few minutes the saliva sample is checked and results delivered. The nano-bio-chip that can diagnose a …

Rice University scientists model tiny rotors, key to future nanomachines

Kolomeisky and Rice graduate student Alexey Akimov have taken a large step toward defining the behavior of these molecular whirligigs with a new paper in the American Chemical Society’s Journal of Physical Chemistry C. Through molecular dynamics simulations, they defined the ground rules for the rotor motion of molecules attached to a gold surface. American …

The Total Universe flat and is at least 251 times larger than the visible universe

Arxiv – Applications of Bayesian model averaging to the curvature and size of the Universe Bayesian model averaging is a procedure to obtain parameter constraints that account for the uncertainty about the correct cosmological model. We use recent cosmological observations and Bayesian model averaging to derive tight limits on the curvature parameter, as well as …

Kazakhstan doubles 2008 uranium production and Namibia Uranium expansion in progress

1. Kazakhstan’s annual uranium production has doubled since 2008, according to preliminary uranium production results released by national atomic company Kazatomprom. The 17,803 tU produced by Kazakhstan in 2010 was nearly 30% up on the 14,020 tU produced in 2009 and double the amount produced in 2008. In the field of uranium conversion, Kazatomprom notes …
