The infectious agent can improve the efficiency of its batteries viruses just stormed the world of consumer electronics. A bit of genetic tweaking and they can make lithium ion batteries more efficient. For researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US, this technology is an important breakthrough as it takes their drive for clean-energy technologies to a different
Ludhiana: Nanotechnology can bring revolutionary changes in the field of agriculture as scientists can now develop technologies relevant to agriculture and food systems by employing high-resolution imaging facilities available at the Electron Microscopy and Nanoscience Laboratory (EMN).
KOLLAM: The Physics Department of Fathima Mata National College here will organise a seminar on Nanoscience and Technology from March 23 to 25. Seminar convener Prof E.P. Wilson said that the objective of the seminar was to provide an opportunity for the delegates to learn, exchange and interact with new ideas in the areas of synthesis of nanomaterials and their characterisations.
Giridih, March 16: The effect of nanotechnology on agriculture could generate some interesting results, feel scientists at the Indian Statistical Institute, Giridih centre.
Chemical fertilisers and pesticides are harmful to the ecology. Thus, the Union ministry of science and technology has funded a research development programme of agro-enterotoxic nano-particles and its uses.
Battery driven cars may now have faster pick-up LITHIUM ion batteries are popular in consumer electronics. With maximum energy capacity and slow loss of charge when not in use, they figure in battery driven cars too. But there is a drawback. When in use, lithium (Li) ions take a long time to move through the electrolyte between the cathode and the anode. This generates electric current
AHMEDABAD: The Nirma University of Science & Technology will set up two research centres at an investment of Rs 50 crore in association with the state government. While one will focus on research in the field of nano technology, the other will focus on research centred around improving electric power quality for the consumer.
