Dr David Can Nanotechnology and Solar Power Solve the Electricty Problems in Sydney, Australia

Only a week or so ago I wrote a piece for the MyAZoNano newsletter that included my thoughts that we would see nanotechnology driven advances in solar energy resulting in widespread adoption of solar electricity. The result would be a dwindling demand for coal fired electricity as homes and businesses become electricity self sufficient. It seems that with a bit of forward thinking, this could well come quicker than even I was considering. Problems with electricity supply in Sydney, Australia ha… Continue

AZoNetwork Chance Discoveries that Change the World

I read with interest that the Large Hadron Collider of LHC is now broken and will be out of operation until 2009. Turns out a faulty electrical connection caused a helium leak. A fairly straight forward and simple problem - other than the fact that the LHC is run at cryogenic temperatures. It's going to take two months just to get the damaged sector back to room temperature s

Mathew Dipnall Nanobits...nanotechnology for dummies or just a great introductory kit?

Hello everybody, I'm the lucky guy granted the opportunity to finish off and distribute the award winning nanotechnology education kit Nanobits. With input from 3 prominant Melbourne Universities under the stewardship of Nanovic, the internationally benchmarked kit has got off to a flying start having been adopted by numerous schools, families and business-people following its COMS launch by Minister Allen. It's particularly exciting because nanobits takes the mystique and intimidation out of… Continue
