NANOTECHNOLOGYA collaborative team creates a very small device that can detect magnetic fields. The Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) can be applied in medicine, topology, and research for new materials.
Novel nanopillars can precisely control color wavelengths to paint a picture. This new technology can be used in optical communication and making paper money that counterfeiters would find challenging to replicate.
The new technology uses the porous property of fired red bricks by filling them with tiny nanofibres of a conducting plastic that stores electric charge.
Water repellent nanostructures were discovered on insects. Engineers had traditionally mimicked plants but found the new insect structure to be more powerful.
Drinking from contaminated water sources is a big problem across counties around the world. A group of Chinese researchers has now come up with a new system to purify drinking water using solar power and specific bacteria.
Scientists recreate human cell membranes onto an electronic chip to measure its behavior with external substances such as viruses and antibiotics. Soon, it will be screening drug candidates for coronavirus.
Scientists experimented with oxidized activated charcoal, transforming it into a powerful antioxidant. The nanozymes can be used in treating injury, stroke, and coronavirus.
New research on mice studies determines that a common food additive known as titanium dioxide can cause adverse effects to colonic health. The food additive has recently been banned in France but is still continuously being used in the U.S. and other countries.
Nanosponges cloaked in human lung and immune cells can attract and neutralize SARS-CoV-2, causing the virus to lose its ability to hijack host cells and prevent reproduction.
A scientist from Michigan State University claims that nanotechnology can help in today's COVID-19 pandemic. Morteza Mahmoudi believes that it could diagnose, assess health risks, and lower death rates associated with coronavirus. Click the link above to learn more.
Hong Kong International Airport is currently testing its latest measure in fighting COVID-19: the CLeanTech Sanitation Pod. The disinfection cubicle is said to detect and kill viruses such as the coronavirus in just 40 seconds. Click the link above to learn more.
