CHENNAI: Nanoscience could help alleviate both the causes and impacts of climate change, according to S.R. Rao, Additional Secretary in the Department of Information Technology.
BY ITSELF, silicon is not an effective conductor. It does not leave its electrons free for smooth flow of information. To make it less rigid, impurities are introduced into a pure silicon chip. The impurities free an electron or two and make the element a better conductor. This is called doping
This article describes biotechnological modes, updated in terms of environmental remediation while exploiting natural resources. Modern biotechnology embraces not only the principles of using various organisms but also the techniques of doing so. Both the aspects are dealt with in detail.
Two nanomaterials make polymers 400 times better it takes a research team from Bengaluru 10 days to prepare a batch of the compound it hopes would revolutionize the world. The compound consists of polyvinyl alcohol, a polymer, mixed with two carbon nanomaterials. There is a tremendous increase in the stiffness and hardness of the polymer
Nanoparticles have been blamed for two deaths at a Chinese factory, in a report that claims to be the first to document human disease caused by the particles.
Nanoparticles of the metal can prevent blood clots blood clots are a common cause of heart attacks, strokes and coronary arterial diseases. Clots block arteries, choke blood and oxygen supply to tissues, thus killing them. The way to deal with this is to take anticoagulants, like aspirin and heparin, which thin the blood. But in large doses they can cause excessive bleeding. However,
Commercial progress in Nanotechnology requires standards, based on science and engineering and is of paramount importance to network with all stakeholders to promote initiatives and technology to industry to add value, said Small and Medium Enterprise Developers (SMED) Director, Renuka Herath.
Ahmedabad : Nano forensics is the latest tool for crime busters. Nano technology, used in bio-technology, weather studies, computer hardware and chemical industry, is making headway in advanced forensic research for accurate and faster results.
KOLAKTA, 31 MAY: In a bid to reduce the price of photovoltaic solar cells, the Green Energy Corporation, in collaboration with the West Bengal Science and Technology Council, will set up a Nano solar cell laboratory. The laboratory will come up on the Calcutta University campus in Salt Lake.
