It is known that perfection is the enemy of good, but in the nanoscale world perfection is the enemy of the best.  Engineers and scientists go to great lengths to make the devices we use as perfect as possible, and there is always room for improvement and the ability out-due the previous device.  For example; [...]

A group of international scientists all the way over in Switzerland are really doing some interesting work with atoms. Last year back in November, they informed the scientific world of their achievement. This unheard of accomplishment was being able to capture and store antimatter atoms for relatively short periods of time. These same scientists had [...]

Most geothermal add-ons for heat pumps take heat from the air or ground, but the new polymer solar-thermal device uses a fluid to accumulate heat from the sun. At the same time an integrated solar cell creates electricity from the sun’s visible light. Researcher, David Carroll, says,”It’s a systems approach to making your home ultra-efficient because [...]

Christine Keating and Meghan Andes-Koback,from Penn State University, used a new technique of constructing models of primitive cells from the bottom up to demonstrate that the structure of a cell’s membrane and cytoplasm is important to cell division. It might even be as important as the specialized machinery found in living cells. Keating and Andes-Koback [...]

Fluorescent dyes currently used to image the interior of laboratory mice, the view becomes so murky several millimeters under the skin that researchers might have more success divining the future from the rodent’s entrails than they do extracting usable data.”We have already used similar carbon nanotubes to deliver drugs to treat cancer in laboratory testing [...]

Around the world there are steel mills the produce up to 12 million tons of waste dust each year.  The dust often is converted into a rock-like material known as Waelz slag, than it would usual be disposed of in landfills. The slag contains iron, calcium, silicon oxide and other minor oxides as manganese, lead or zinc [...]
