California water crisis deepens: Graphene membranes could provide a breakthrough
This blog has recently featured articles on the growing worldwide water crisis and on the potential of a new material called graphene which has exhibited amazing characteristics (strength, chemical resistance, flexibility) that could lead to breakthroughs in a number of areas. It … Continue reading
Nanocrystals for tagging: A possible breakthrough
Research carried out at MIT and funded by the National Science Foundation, the Army Research Office and National Institute of Health has led to the successful development of tiny, smartphone-readable particles that, inventors say, could be used to authenticate currency (see also … Continue reading
Unusual forms of carbon: Growing Commercial Uses
Richard Smalley’s team’s discovery of Buckyballs( Fullerene) at Rice University in 1985 was a breakthrough in the knowledge of so-called allotropic forms of carbon. Thirty years have now gone by, but commercial applications of these interesting shapes of carbon are still … Continue reading
Nanotechnology Breakthroughs or Conversation Pieces?
This is a subject that is perennially mysterious, because it is hard to get your arms around. It is about atomic-sized particles able or targeted to do things that were never done before. It has been around for many years, yet seems … Continue reading
