Hepatitis C Can Now Be Totally Cured By New Nanoparticle

While Americans worry every year about getting a flu shot or preventing HIV/AIDS, the deadlier silent is actually Hepatitis C; killing over 15,000 people yearly in the U.S. since 2007 and the numbers continue to increase as the carriers increase in age.... 

Micro-Machines To Start Making Medicine Inside Our Bodies

We have all seen nanotechnology in movies and television shows over the years, from the nanoprobes in Star Trek to the Nanomites in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. Now these are some examples of nefarious uses of nano tech but a group of scientists from... 

Silicene May Be The Next Best Thing After Graphene

When Graphene was discovered a few years ago it was hailed as the next big thing for the manufacturing of computing and electrical devices, mainly because of its single atom layer of Carbon that is known as the ‘most conductive material in the entire... 

New Nanotechnology ‘Power Felt’ Can Convert Body Heat Into Power For Charging iPhones/iPods

Seems like the battery version of the humans seen in Matrix, generating electricity for the machines isn’t that far fetched. PhD student Corey Hewit from Center of Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials, Wake Forest University has devised an easy... 

3D Panorama View To Be Offered By Virtual Reality Contact Lenses

Contact lenses that aid in improving eyesight with the help of MP 3D Panorama images are mostly being designed with funding from military. A new research has stated that, for people who do not want to rely on contact lenses can go for lenses that will... 

World’s Smallest Battery Is 6 Times Thinner Than A Bacterium

Researchers at the Rice University have developed the world’s smallest battery that is just 150 nanometers in width — makes it six(6) thinner than a bacterium, hundreds of times thinner than a human hair and about 60,000 times smaller than a... 

Future Laptops Could Be Powered By Typing [RESEARCH]

Charge your laptop by typing on it — sounds like a perfect idea to one who believes in the ideal world. But this could soon become a reality as Researchers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) have successfully measured a piezoelectric... 

Human Heartbeat Could Be Used To Charge Electronic Devices Such As iPod

Scientists are hoping that human heartbeat could be used to charge electronics which don’t require batteries such as an iPod. This comes after the development of a tiny chip which uses human body movements to generate power. The team from National... 

Microscopic Images Of Human Eye Reveals Its Complicated Structure[PICS]

Suren Manvelyan, a teacher by profession from Armenia, has taken the following snapshots of a human eye which provides a different perspective of its complex structure. These intensely detailed shots also resemble craters on Mars. Manvelyan took these... 

The World’s Smallest Periodic Table Engraved On a Single Human Hair

A group of scientists from the University of Nottingham Nanotechnology and Nanoscience Centre have managed to write what they believe is the world’s smallest periodic table on a single human hair. It certainly a great way not to get the periodic...
