Self-filling water bottles save the world from a lack of drinking water- VIDEO

Tuesday, 27 November 2012 20:09


Specialists of NBD Nano able to reproduce the natural process of watershed of beetle species Onymacris unguicularis, that live in the Namib Desert, at the nanoscale and developed the world's first prototype of water bottle, which may itself be filled with water. Ambitious project of NBD Nano has already received recognition in the contest of Boston College Venture Competition, where the company NBD Nano received a grant for 10 thoUSAnd dollars to further develop of this water bottle. According to Miguel Galvez, the secret of effective watershed of beetle species Onymacris unguicularis is alternating of hydrophilic (attracts water) and hydrophobic (water repelling) parts on the elytra of beetles, as a result, a drop of moisture from the atmosphere condense and grow on a hydrophilic surface, and the opposite on the properties of the beetle wing inhibit their premature slide. It is made of alternating hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts of the inner surface of water bottle, which draws water from the atmosphere, accumulating it in the bottle, THE VIDEO: http://hainanwel.com/en/unusual-world/2 ... ottle.html

In the magazines New Scientist and Nanoletters appeared an article of scientists from the University of Genoa in Italy, that Italian scientists for the first time in the world have been able to get pictures of DNA, showing the coils of DNA helices (see the photo). As reported, the photos of DNA was obtained with the new technology of electron microscopy, where to obtain images of DNA, scientists have created a completely new substrate on which the nucleic acid was fixed, and in which there were a microscopic support, between which was stretched a DNA molecules, on the photo can be viewed an A-form of DNA.

On human hair drew the world's smallest comics “Juanita Knits the Planet”- VIDEO PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 13 May 2014 12:48
Advances in technology have led to the fact, that we now have many ways to capture their stories and share them. Someone puts pictures in Instagram, someone writes a long blog posts, and someone draws microscopic ... comics on human hair. The smallest in the world of comics with a strange name "Juanita knits planet" was painted in the U.S. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with a focused ion beam (focused ion beaming or FIB). It will be unveiled at a meeting Exceptional Hardware Software Meeting in Hamburg (Germany) at the end of June. Comic book describes in detail one day in the life of Juanita - a little girl, who turned into a robot. During FIB technology ultrafast material flow is directed to the hair. While on the surface cut templates. This method of "printing on the hair" using FIB technology is the answer to the smallest first page of the magazine, which was released last month by IBM. The project was IBM draw attention to Moore's Law. Specialists show that reducing the size of objects stalled, so they created nanobook, which amounted to 11h14 micrometers. To publish the comic book "Juanita Knits the Planet" on human hair was a demonstration of the method print" and to draw attention to the potential of technology. However, this figure can not be considered without special powerful microscope, VIDEO:

Mask Easybreath allow breathe it under water completely free- VIDEO
Saturday, 24 May 2014 17:55
The French company has developed a mask Tribord «Easybreath», that would allow people to see and breathe underwater with the same ease with which they do it on land. "We are naturally separate the mouth from the nose," explains Oliver, manager diving center. "In other words, we breathe in through your nose and exhale through the mouth, but when we put on a mask , we can only breathe through the mouth." Easybreath allow us to breathe more naturally - through the mouth and nose. However, it will give us a wonderful and unobstructed 180 -degree view. Also it is located on top of the head tube, and its bright tip is clearly visible during the voyage other divers and boat owners. Exclusive features masks were so impressive that she won first place in the competition in 2014 at Oxylane Innovation awards. And although it certainly gives the impression its objective assessment is difficult to obtain. Mask will appear on store shelves in Europe in late May, but the message in Twitter- account Tribord, the company has no sufficient stocks to send its customers around the world, VIDEO:

Smallest nanomotor can operate continuously 15 hours- VIDEO
Saturday, 24 May 2014 15:10
A group of engineers from the University of Texas has developed the smallest nanomotor and forced to work it a 15 hours continuously, while previous versions nanomotor rotated at least three times at just a few minutes. As the rotor is used wire (Au / Ni / Au), located on the magnet (Au / M / Cr), with a system, that consisting of four pairs of microelectrodes connected which act as the stator. In the composition of the magnet contained nickel and cobalt and gold layer is required to change the magnetic attraction on the rotor. By accurately adjusting the attraction magnet wire to the ground, but does not prevent its rotation . Nanomotors assembly was carried out using the "electric tweezers ", which allows to move nanoparticles on arbitrary trajectories with an accuracy of 150 nm, VIDEO:

New safety helmet U.S. Army soldier looks like a Darth Vader mask - VIDEO
Sunday, 25 May 2014 14:00
Edgewood Center for biochemical studies of the U.S. Army (ECBC) has developed a new combination of the helmet and respirator, that will protect soldiers from chemical, biological and radiological threats. The system, which looks very similar to Darth Vader helmets and Master Chief from Halo, uses built-in fans for cooling the face of a soldier and to maintain the integrity of the mask. New helmet is based on the commercial version of the filter mask Avon M50, which is used by the U.S. Army. It connects to a belt or backpack hidden in the battery and the fan on the side of the mask blows air into the nose cup to air flow during inspiration was constant. When the user exhales, the valve closes and the air is directed to the area around the eye, creating a positive pressure in the front part, which prevents contamination of the atmosphere inside, if the mask leaks will be broken. Respiratory protection unit ECBC to develop and test a new helmet for the past year. According to army reports, the mask was more comfortable, and at least as effective as the models, that are used by the military at the moment. The team is now working on further improvements of the system - such as sensors that detect when you need to turn on the fans, and where to direct an airflow, VIDEO:
