Progress in nanomedicine

Posted by Earl Boysen on November 13, 2009 at 3:16am

In updating my website, understandingnano.com, recently, I’ve noticed that several efforts in the area of nanotechnology in medicine have moved from the conceptual to the pre-clinical or clinical testing stage. If you want to know more about some of

Small Windmills Improved With Nanotubes

Posted by Earl Boysen on December 29, 2009 at 5:04pm

Solar panels are a widely accepted way to generate electricity if your house is off the grid or if you want to supplement power from the grid, however in some regions windmills may be much more effective. Considering that adding nanotubes to composit

CMOS Sandwich
