It’s been proven that time crystals do in fact exist. Two different teams of researchers created some time crystals just recently, one of which was from the University of Maryland and the other from Harvard University. While the first team used a chain of charged particles called ytterbium ions, the others used a synthetic diamond [...]
Turning saltwater into clean drinking water is an expensive, energy-intensive process, but could the wonder material graphene make it more accessible? Graphene-oxide membranes have attracted considerable attention as promising candidates for new filtration technologies. Now the much sought-after development of making membranes capable of sieving common salts has been achieved. New research [...]
From a blog post by Bill Gates on thegatesnotes.com: I’ve been perpetuating a misconception. When I give talks about global health, I typically speak about microbes as threats we need to wipe off the map. And it’s certainly true that some microbes, like the ones that cause malaria and tuberculosis, are responsible for tremendous suffering [...]
From an article by David Cox: A laser weapons physicist has come up with a novel treatment for the disease – blowing up the cancer cells in infinitely small explosions. In a small laboratory, not far from southern California’s Pacific coastline, Dmitri Lapotko is using lasers to conduct on-demand explosions on a scale almost infinitely [...]
EuroNanoForum 2017 will focus on how nano and materials technologies can strengthen competitiveness across all European industries. The discussion will also extend to framework conditions such as education, standards, regulations, IPR and safety issues, as well as entrepreneurship and industrial policy. The program will include sessions on finance and funding through European and National programs, [...]
From an article by Fabio Bergamin at phys.org: The way that nanoparticles behave in the environment is extremely complex. There is currently a lack of systematic experimental data to help understand them comprehensively, as ETH environmental scientists have shown in a large overview study. A more standardised approach would help to advance the research field. [...]
From an article by Nick Statt @nickstatt: SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk is backing a brain-computer interface venture called Neuralink, according to The Wall Street Journal. The company, which is still in the earliest stages of existence and has no public presence whatsoever, is centered on creating devices that can be implanted in the [...]
From an article at nanowerknews.com: Three-dimensional printing allows extremely small and complex structures to be made even in small series. A method developed at the KIT for the first time allows also glass to be used for this technique. As a consequence of the properties of glass, such as transparency, thermal stability and resistance to [...]
From an article by Sarah Knapton: A bioterrorist attack which could wipe out 30 million people is becoming increasingly likely because it is easier than ever to create and spread deadly pathogens, Bill Gates has warned. The Microsoft Founder, who was speaking ahead of speech at the Royal United Services Institute in London (RUSI), warned [...]
From Frank Boehm, NanoApps Medical Inc. CEO: I'm attending the 14th Congress of the Annual Society for Brain Mapping and Therapeutics (SBMT), at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in LA (April, 18-20, 2017). This is an excellent educational and networking opportunity, and I hope to see you here! I'm promoting my first book: Nanomedical Device [...]
