Nano World: Self-powered hydrogen sensors Nanotechnological, inexpensive sensors that can detect invisible, odorless hydrogen leaks and sound the alarm wirelessly could help safeguard future vehicles and refueling stations based on the gas, experts told UPI’s Nano World. Intriguingly, the sensors have the ability to power themselves by harvesting energy from slight vibrations. This means they… Continue reading Self-powered hydrogen sensors

German researchers design hybrid bio-synthetic nanoparticles to fight cancer
German researchers design hybrid bio-synthetic nanoparticles to fight cancer They are only a few nanometers in size, but their impact is tremendous: The tiny particles drive cancer cells to their death in no time at all. At nano tech 2006 in Japan from Feb. 21-23 researchers from the German Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft will demonstrate in Hall 4… Continue reading German researchers design hybrid bio-synthetic nanoparticles to fight cancer
Water Fuel
A group of Malaysian scientists who developed the V1 hydrogen fuel technology (HFT), which can significantly reduce fuel consumption and cost, hopes to work with companies to commercialise it. Its spokesman Mohammad Isa Abdullah said a prototype had been developed and RM5mil was needed for the system to be commercialised. We have yet to identify… Continue reading Water Fuel
UCLA develops nanotechnology safety test
UCLA develops nanotechnology safety test UCLA scientists have developed a testing strategy to help manufacturers monitor and test the safety and health risks of engineered nanomaterials. Nanotechnology involves manipulating atoms to create molecules smaller than one one-thousandth the diameter of a human hair. “Nano” means one billionth of a meter and the field might exceed… Continue reading UCLA develops nanotechnology safety test
Researchers Develop Quantum Processor
Researchers Develop Quantum Processor A computer chip based on the esoteric science of quantum mechanics has been created by researchers at the University of Michigan. The chip might well pave the way for a new generation of supercomputers. Employing the same semiconductor-fabrication techniques used to create common computer chips, the Michigan team was able to… Continue reading Researchers Develop Quantum Processor
