Low Energy Water Desalination Through Nanotechnology
The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has found out a greener way to desalinize sea water. It uses carbon nanotubes which have pores that are 100,000 times smaller than a human hair, and were able to determine the rejection mechanism within the pores.
Lightning GT: Britain’s Competitor to Tesla’s Roadster
Just a few months ago I was presenting the Tesla Roadster as a pioneer in electric vehicles. And it surely is. It does 60mph in just 3.7 seconds, is extremely light and not so comfortable.
This time, the British have projected a brand-new electric car that would ultimately compete with Tesla’s famous Roadster.
The car is called [...]
Nano Fibers Will Power Your iPod
Have your ever seen those self-powered mechanical watches, those who charge themselves from your hand’s movement? They have one half of a heavier metal disc spinning around an axis. That movement rotates some wheels, who finally rotate the watch spring.
However, that is not our article’s subject. Our article talks about some newer discovery: some US [...]
MIT Using Viruses To Create Power In Batteries
MIT researchers have developed a new method of building batteries, solar panels and transistors by using… viruses!
They announced the discovery of a new way of making the nanomaterials by using viruses as microscopic components. These viruses, inoffensive to the human body, were created to serve as microscopic assembly blocks. Initially, they were used for creating [...]
