Discovery

Look at the video! The team of doctors from the Heart Hospital in London, joining with the computer animators from Glassworks, have created a model of heart–a virtual heart–that can be used by heart specialist. NewScientist reported that this super-realistic computer model makes it possible to explore the heart’s anatomy in ways not possible in [...]

It was reported in ScienceDaily that the researchers from Ohio State University have developed a new strategy to overcome one of the major obstacles to a grand challenge in physics, that intimately linked to the making of light crystals. Before, in the year of 2008, the researchers from Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) had an [...]

The technology of hydrogen cars has been stepping closer to reality. California and Japan have many hydrogen cars being used as fleet vehicles now. Researchers at the Hydrogen Systems Laboratory at Purdue’s Maurice J. Zucrow Laboratories have developed a critical part of a hydrogen storage system for cars that makes it possible to fill up a [...]

To date, the term of “battery” is often used for the electronic equipment. Battery substitutes the use of electricity for some devices. What pops up in your mind when I say that nowadays, we can find battery for car? Is that possible? Certainly it is. The nanoball battery has been developed to be used for car, exactly [...]

Nanotechnology seems to be the solution for human problem now. Wheter it is a cancer, tumor, heart monitoring, or even a synthetic brain. After the scientist in USA–led by Professor Alice Parker, University of Southern California–informed that they are attempting to build neurons from carbon nanotubes to emulate human brain function, ScienceDaily yesterday reported that “synthetic [...]

After researchers at the University of Illinois found the silicon photonic crystals as the key to optical cloaking in June, 2008, engineers at Duke University recently has produced a new type of cloaking device, which is significantly more sophisticated at cloaking in a broad range of frequencies. ScienceDaily reported, the engineers develop some technique using mathematical [...]

It was reported in Nanotech-now that a new type of laser has just been discovered. The new finding was found by the researchers from Princetown University. They discovered a new mechanism for making common electronic materials emit laser beams. They claimed that the new electronic laser beams will work more efficiently. It also works at higher [...]

The radiation of cell phone has been found to affect animals memory. In the research held by the Division of Neurosurgery–Lund University, in Sweden–it was found that rats, the used object were exposed to mobile phone radiation for two hours a week for more than a year. The research led by Henrietta Nittby. She said [...]

Many biotechnological processes in petrochemical industry are risky to environment. The process of making polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA for short) or acrylic glass, for instance. But recently, the researchers from University of Duisburg-Essen and the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), finally found a new technology that is far more environmentally friendly in the making of [...]

Creating a new process to improve the efficiency of computer or any other hardware is no simple matter. But now, a nanoscale based technology has been introduced to the world of science and computer industry. It promises a more efficient, smarter, even faster speed. Of course this is the part of nanotechnology that will enable people [...]
