New Nanosuits Can Help Bugs Survive A Space-Like Vacuum
Human space travel comes with a host of problems, not the least of which is our general inability to survive in a vacuum without, you know, dying. But a new technique that’s done wonders for fruit fly larvae and could one day lead to the same for humans may have solved that problem.
Watch Liquids Literally Bounce Off This Amazing Nanoscale Coating
If you find fingerprint-resistant phones utterly fascinating, then this is going to do your head in. Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed a nanoscale coating that doesn’t just resist liquids, it shuts them down completely. So, instead of droplets going “splat”, they go “boing”… to put it in scientific terms.
Aussie Researchers Develop Crazy Liquid Metal Nanotech Skin
Liquid metal technology. That’s Terminator 2 stuff, right? Well you better start running now, John Connor, because it’s here. A new, flexible, conductive nano-coating lets liquid metal keep its form by transforming under high pressure and then springing right back.
Aussie Nano-Material Breakthrough Could Lead To Faster Gadgets
Chip manufacturing processes are getting tiny. In terms of available products, Intel’s Ivy Bridge CPUs feature the smallest process at 22 nanometres. However, while the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) reckons we’ll hit 14nm by 2014 and 10nm by 2016, it’s getting progressively harder to achieve these milestones.
Water-Powered Nano Rockets Can Safely Explore The Human Body
The idea of targeting a specific part of the human body with a microscopic rocket carrying a payload of medication has been tossed around for a while. And working nano-sized rockets have already been created, the only problem is that they’re powered by chemicals like hydrogen peroxide which will do more harm than good for a patient.
Scientists Develop Nanoparticle That Completely Destroys Hepatitis C
Hepatitis C now kills more people than HIV. While there’s increasing progress towards finding a reliable vaccine, results can’t come soon enough. Now, researchers have developed a nanoparticle that effectively eradicates hepatitis C 100 per cent of the time.
