    Managing Multiple Scales for Nanotechnology Research
    2008-04-24 14:57:00
    One of the problems nanotechnology has faced is that it brings back together disparate scientific disciplines that over the last century had been growing increasingly apart. It was becoming difficult with the high-level of specialization for a physicist to talk to biologist and for the biologist to

    Risks of nanotechnology remain uncertain
    2008-03-05 12:21:02
    From NanoFocus: Despite an onslaught of research, scientists cannot say which nanomaterials are hazardous to the environment or human health. Toxicology experiments on nanomaterials often seem to run the same way: put some nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, quantum dots, or other

    Have you ever imagined seeing these specs on a mobile phone: Self Cleaning - the phone cleans by itself Self powered - the phone derives its energy/power from the sun, water, or air. Sense the environment - the phone will tell you the weather, the amount of air pollution present, etc. Flexible - bend but not break Transparent - “see [...]

    More on synthetic biology and nanotechnology
    2007-07-12 19:34:43
    Theres a lot of interesting recent commentary about synthetic biology on Homunculus , the consistently interesting blog of the science writer Philip Ball. Theres lots more detail about the story of the first bacterial genome transplant that I referred Evidence of recent human adaptation found in genome A study of genome sequences in African-Americans, European-Americans and Chinese suggests that natural selection has caused as much as 10 percent of the human genome to change in some populations in the last 15,000 to 100,000 years, when people began Science at Shopping.com! - Sponsored Link Ad - Shop for Toys and Games Simply Fast Savings South Pole Astronomy III - StarDate: July 12 Drilling into the universe.

    Nanotechnology and Life Extension
    2007-07-07 17:20:00
    by Chris Phoenix ( cphoenix at CRNano.org)This chapter is not really about life extension. Instead, its focus is on health extension: keeping the body in a state of good health. This is a simpler topic, because we can ignore several philosophical questions. However, as the chapter unfolds, it will become clear that life extension is a natural consequence of health extension. As diseases are cured, causes of death will be avoided; as people make use of technology to improve their health, they will find themselves living longer--perhaps much longer.A few thousand years ago, people lived about thirty years. From their point of view, we have already extended our lives to an amazing degree. However, from where we stand today, we can see that we still have a long way to go. Some people still die in their 40's from cancer, heart attack, stroke, and infections. This is tragic, and frustrating. Today's medicine is only somewhat able to deal with these and other conditions--and it has barely s

    Nanotechnology in Electronics
    2007-05-21 15:35:00
    You may have heard of nanotechnology ( Nanotechnology is the engineering of functional systems at the molecular scale-- typically smaller than 1 micrometer) finding it way in personal care products and some health products but soon it may be replacing the Silicon the element that heralded the electronic revolution.The two contenders to dethrone Silicon may be Graphene and carbon Nanotubes.Graphene is a flat single layer of carbon atoms bonded together in a hexagonal pattern of graphite.Graphene has some extraordinary electronic properties like a zero effective mass and like elementary particle obeys Einstein's relativity instead of Newtonian mechanics. Graphene is much easier to work with and scientists has been able to use standard electronic techniques to make Graphene transistors. Carbon Nanotubes are extremely thin , hollow cylinders made of carbon atoms and have similar properties as Graphene but are much harder to build into complex devices.Recent research in Nanotube technology has demonstrated that its novel Y shape allows for elimination of metal electrode that control current flow and thus shrinking its size even further. Be it flat carbon like in Graphene or rolled up like in Nanotubes, carbon is a serious challenger to Silicon.

    Nanotechnology, Mitochondria and Asbestos similarity
    2007-03-12 08:17:00
    Just as the boundaries of computing will soon seem limitless, Mr. Kurzweil insists that improving knowledge and technology will make death avoidable. By the late 2020's, Mr. Kurzweil predicts, the fruits of artificial intelligence and nanotechnology, a technology that permits changes to the body at the cellular level, will really kick in so that science will enable people to rebuild their bodies, any way they want to. In 15 to 20 years, he contends that advances in the understanding of gene processes will make it possible for biotechnology therapies to turn off and reverse disease and aging.Toxins are among the most prevalent in our air, water and/or food supply. Asbestos was widely used from the 1950s to 1970s. Problems arise when the material becomes old and crumbly, releasing fibers into the air. Risks: Cancer, scarring of the lung tissue, Mesothelioma.In Australia asbestos exposure is predicted to result in 16,000 deaths from mesothelioma and 40,000 deaths from lung cancer. The se
