Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software Michigan Technology University has found ways to use magnetic resonance to capture rays of visible light and route them around objects, rendering those objects invisible to the human eye. They describe developing a nonmetallic cloak that uses identical glass resonators made of chalcogenide glass, a type …
Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software A 56.8% reduction in arterial plaque and healing of the arteries would reverse the course of Atherosclerosis by 10-20 years. The treatment could be repeated to stave off Atherosclerosis indefinitely. Atherosclerosis (also known as arteriosclerotic vascular disease or ASVD) is a condition in which an artery …
Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software Adding a bit of graphene to battery materials could dramatically cut the time it takes to recharge electronics. Today, a typical cell phone battery takes between two and five hours to fully recharge. Researchers think using new battery materials with graphene could cut recharge time to …
Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software Investigators at the University of North Carolina (UNC) Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center have found that oral treatment of mice with a drug that inhibits enzymes involved in cell division caused certain groups of bone marrow cells to temporarily stop dividing (which they termed ‘pharmacological quiescence’ or …

Worldwide, 50 million individuals …
Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software A 49 MW coal plant now has 6.8 acres of concentrated solar mirrors to help heat the plant and reduce coal usage by 900 tons. The first ever hybrid solar-coal power plant is now operating at Unit 2 of the Cameo Generating Station near Palisade in …
Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software NanoNed researcher Vadim Sidorkin is the first in the world to succeed in patterning a substrate with markings only 6 nanometres in size and only 14 nanometres apart. A spacing of 14 nanometres, would increase in the capacity of the memory chips of, for example, new …
Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software Earth has changed technology and shifted from using leaky radio signals and broadcasting radios to fiber optics and short range wireless. If aliens followed our pattern then SETI is analogous to a system of detecting teenagers who have their music set to a volume of eleven. …
Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software Scientists have discovered a compound that restores the capacity to form new memories in aging rats, likely by improving the survival of newborn neurons in the brain’s memory hub. Rodents treated with P7C3 for two months significantly outperformed their placebo-treated peers on a water maze task, …
Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software Fluorine can be compressed into both a semiconductor and crystalline metal. Applications could range from an ultra-powerful oxidizer for destroying toxic microbes to super-efficient fuel cells to room-temperature superconductors. By inserting xenon di-fluoride (XeF2, a material used to etch silicon conductors) between two diamond anvils and …
I believe before 2018 there will be many viable nuclear fusion approaches that will be competing in commercial markets. More than one could achieve technical and commercial success by leveraging different niches. Just like there is more than one kind of viable form of nuclear fission. There are metal reactors in Russian submarines, Pressure Water …
