Engineers are trying to use nano-size wires to create smaller, more powerful microprocessors. Doctors are searching for ways to use nanoparticles in medical applications. Still, we've got a long way to go before nanotechnology dominates the technology and medical markets. In the world of "Star ...
As the "nano-" prefix implies, these generators are a piece of nanotechnology, or technology so small its size is measured by the nanometer (one billionth of a meter). So, even the most complex and powerful nanogenerators in existence today are small enough to be held between two fingers....
Nanoformulations could potentially be used to deliver stronger doses of intravenous or inhaled dexamethasone, one of the few existing drugs to show some efficacy in dampening the inflammation some Covid-19 patients suffer, directly to hyper-activated immune cells. Based on animal studies of other d...
Another major problem of pollution control is the mixture of pollutants that require expensive tailor-fitted treatment for different chemicals and compounds. Nanolyse Technologies' analytical methods for pollution control come with a fitted sensor device and works by selecting and capturing different chemic...

How a scanning electron microscope (SEM) works A scanning electron microscope scans a beam of electrons over a specimen to produce a magnified image of an object. That's completely different from a TEM, where the beam of electrons goes right through the specimen. Electrons are fired into the...
How Nuclear Radiation Works describes protons, neutrons and electrons in some detail. For example, hydrogen atoms have one electron orbiting the nucleus. Helium atoms have two electrons orbiting the nucleus. Aluminum atoms have 13 electrons circling the nucleus. Each atom has a preferred number of ...
When you cut yourself, it's amazing to watch how quickly your body acts to mend the wound. Immediately, your body works to pull the skin around the cut back together. If you have a scar, you can see the evidence of our bodies' self-healing power. Scientists are now developing a new...
In this article, we'll take the mystery out of sunglasses and help you understand what to look for when you buy a pair. We'll analyze the different styles and look at the technology behind the different lens compositions. You will also learn how light works and see why light, in ...
The premise has inspired many science fiction works, including Michael Crichton's "Prey" and Neil Stephenson's excellent "The Diamond Age." The potential of nanotechnology took a long time to show it's face, but it is finally starting to arrive in the form of sophisticated medical intervention...
