Nanotechnology is, undoubtedly, a vital part of science. Scientists are always trying to get the best out of it. However, lately a group of scientists has made such material which makes water drops bounce off.
Recently, Los Angeles based startup DryWired has made a protector for mobile devices. The company says that its new nano coating can give both smartphones and tablets the ability to withstand drops and water.
Whereas the conventional LCDs have their limitations, Nanosys has now bagged $15 million to start working on quantum dot LCDs, which can make displays 50 percent brighter.
Beetles in the Namib Desert utilizes a ‘special technique’ to capture water from air. This creativity of beetle has inspired NBD Nano co-founder Deckard Sorensen to create a “self-filling water bottle”. He hopes to bring this self-filling water bottle to the market by 2014.
A group of scientists from MIT and the University of British Columbia have created nanoparticles that can be remotely activated to produce different types of proteins and, when implanted into living cells, it should distribute those proteins throughout the body. That means, the nanoparticles can be used for remotely activated drug delivery inside the human body. The implications of this discovery would be tremendous in medical science and healthcare.
Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed a method for generating power using viruses that convert mechanical energy into electricity. Researchers have put viruses to work in the lab, using them to build tiny devices that gather energy from mechanical forces, and to run a small liquid-crystal display.
Researchers at MIT have developed a new way to create surface textures on glass which can be used to make reflection free glass. The glass is not only glare-free, but also anti-fogging and can clean itself. This technology can be used in solar panels to increase efficiency, as well as in buildings or in electronic devices.
3/4 of the earth’s surface is filled with water. But these huge amount of water is almost undrinkable. Imagine a world, where there is no water. The water that are left in the world is only in human and animal body. I hope you understand what I mean. If you have to drink water, then you will have no option except drinking your own emerged water. Anyway, that’s a nightmare. I’m sure, no has thought about it in dreams. But, guess what? Microsoft owner Bill Gates is investing his money for making a new machine for transforming toilet water into drinking water. Really?
