Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software Journal Science – Step-Growth Polymerization of Inorganic Nanoparticles Currently, no model exists describing the organization of nanoparticles. This work paves the way for the prediction of the properties of nanoparticle ensembles and for the development of new design rules for such structures. It will enable the …
Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software MIT explains phonons. To understand how heat spreads through a material, consider that heat — as well as sound — is actually the motion or vibration of atoms and molecules: Low-frequency vibrations correspond to sound, while higher frequencies correspond to heat. At each frequency, quantum mechanics …

Nano imprinting with Bulk Metallic Glass enables to directly replicate smallest features with high aspect ratio. Our current record is 13 nm and 50 for feature diamater and aspect ratio, respectively. MIT Technology Review reports that researchers at Yale University have demonstrated that these nanoimprint molds can be created from more durable materials. This advance …
Graphane crystal. This novel two-dimensional material is obtained from graphene (a monolayer of carbon atoms) by attaching hydrogen atoms (red) to each carbon atoms (blue) in the crystal. Credit: University of Manchester Researchers at The University of Manchester have produced a ground-breaking new material, graphane, which has been derived from graphene. What is huge:1. Graphene …
President Obama and new Space Policy and Direction1. Astroengine looks at the “Space Exploration Crisis”. NASA’s future is on a knife-edge and this could severely damage the US future in space. How can a short term five year case be made for long term benefits ? 2. Tomorrow is Here asks the related question: “Does …
Here is a study of future scenarios where there is a lot of nuclear power. Can Future Nuclear Power Be Made Proliferation Resistant ?” by the Center for International and Security Studies at Maryland. From that study it seems clear the problems are manageable, especially with proper reactor design selection and looking at processing, reprocessing …
Non electric uses for nuclear fusion were presented in a 2003 report to the Fusion Energy Sciences Advisory Committee (FESAC). There are at least 5 unique products that we can “sell” from fusion reactions before the fusion community enters the main market for fusion energy (the generation of electricity): A.) high energy neutrons (2-14 MeV) …
Information on the Inertial Electrostatic Fusion project by EMC2 Fusion Inc which is carrying on the work of the late Robert Bussard Alan Boyle reports that the review of the WB7 experiment is done and the verdict is positive. The team has turned in its final report, and it’s been double-checked by a peer-review panel, …
