Scientists are developing a grid of nano wires capable of pulling germs from the wound, thus speeding up the healing process. Novelty was devoted to the report presented at the 61st Congress of the American Vacuum Society, and briefly about her reports Science News.
Another use of carbon nanotubes, which have previously been used in a new light source, flexible super capacitors and sensitive sensors, found researchers at the University of Utah. With their help, a team of scientists led by Professor Ling Zhang created a prototype sensor for the detection of explosives, which is also suitable for the identification of drugs and hazardous chemicals, such as nerve agents.
China is an active stance on the issue of lunar exploration and colonization (see. Note "On the Moon rover landed Chinese Yutu"). By the end of this year planned testing of the space program, "Chang'e-5": UAV will have to collect samples from the surface of the Moon and return them to Earth. This task will be implemented as part of the launch vehicles "Chang'e-5" and "Chang'e-6". With the completion of the mission of unmanned lunar exploration, since 2017, specialists will determine the date of a manned landing on the lunar surface, after which will begin construction of the base on the moon.
The Japanese company Aerial Burton continued to improve its unique development of real 3D-display capable of reproducing an image directly into the air (see. Note "Aerial Burton 3D display is building a true three-dimensional image"). One of the priorities in the study was a reduction in the size of the installation, up to the placement in the trunk of a car-SUV. This is due to the fact that the company wants to commercialize the project and expand the production of such mobile units by early 2015.
As the developers say the application of the system is possible to signal in an emergency situation when there is a necessity to build the image seen at long range, in areas where it is impossible to find a suitable location for the normal screen. For example, it can be text or pointers, hovering in the air that will inform victims about where you can get food, where there are emergency supplies, or indicate a safe path to the evacuation.
Technology of the air volumetric images based on the ionization of air by means of a sufficiently powerful infrared laser, capable of producing pulses with a frequency of 1,000 times per second. These pulses come in the three-dimensional scanning optical system which reflects the laser beam and focuses it at the desired point in space. The energy of the laser light ionizes the air molecules, causing them to emit photons of light in the visible range, making a point of the space pixel lit three-dimensional image.
French ekstremal Zhissi Francois (Francois Gissy) set a new world speed record on a bicycle ride with a jet engine. Rider clocked up to 333 km / h in just 4.8 seconds. Participated in the experiment Ferrari car looked just a snail compared with a jet bike.
The event took place at Paul Ricard in the south of France last Friday. Rocket engine mounted on the bike was built by Exotic Thermal Engineering. Unfortunately, information about what kind of fuel system uses not disclosed. It is known that the power plant is about 560 horsepower.
Flying locks always excite the imagination of not only children but also adults. Ever since the novel Dzh.Svifta "Gulliver's Travels", where the hero finds himself in the flying city of Laputa Castle dreamed of flying to see a generation of people. With the puzzle game "Hoverkraft Levitating Construction Challenge" Flying castle can not only see, but also to build.
Recently, wehave already presentedhow our worldwill look likein 10 years.Wementioned the creationsoonfasterand lesspower-hungrycomputers, which will be basedon transistorsmade fromcarbon nanotubes.
IBM announcedthat itis working intensivelyon the developmentof this technology andprovides thatit should cometo the marketbefore the endof the decade.This is very importantbecause itis fast approachingthe magiclimitingthe possibilityof silicon chipsthat operate at5nanometers.
Scientists from theUniversity of Texas atAustinand the Technical Universityof Munich,has developed athin-filmmetamaterialwith anonlinear optical properties.
In this case, the nonlinearity of the optical properties ofthe metamaterialshownthousands of timesstronger than thenon-linearity ofconventional materials, which also havesimilar properties.Andas a demonstration ofits capabilitiesin this area, scientists have createda mirrorthickness ofjust 400nanometersreflects lightwhose frequency isexactlytwice thefrequency of the lightincident on the surfaceof themirror.
