New Lighter Blades For Wind Turbines

Marcio Loos, is a post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Macromolecular Science and Engineering has reached to new blades for the wind turbines that are much lighter than the used blades nowadays, which will make the blades will move by less wind. The new blades are made from polyurethane reinforced with carbon nanotube, using a small commercial blade … Continue reading

Overcoming The Electricity Cables Waste

Armchair quantum wire (AQW) is a weaved metallic carbon nanotubes that seems like a perfect solution for saving the wasted electricity in the usual electricity cables used nowadays. The AQW can transfer electricity with nearly no waste at all. Till now the manufacture of those nanotubes has exposed to some difficulties. But the new discovery … Continue reading

Storing Sun Heat In Carbon Nanotubes

Instead of turning the sun heat to electricity, it can be stored in chemical form and kept in a heavily insulated container and used when needed. Saving the chemical materials are of course capable to be stored for long periods without losing its stored energy. That is not a new approach but the elements that has … Continue reading

New Discoveries Concerning Producing Graphene

Scientists of  Northern Illinois University (NIU) announced about a new green, simple, cheaper and safe method for producing the graphene than the used ways like splitting graphite crystals or heating silicon to high temperatures.  Ahead of the team is Narayan Hosmane.  The new method just involves burning pure magnesium in dry ice, the new carbon is … Continue reading

Bee Venom Explosives

We all know that bees are the source of honey, they are very useful in pollination. We also all get terrified from the bee venom because of the inflammation, but what will you think now if the Bee Venom is  used to make explosives? Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have shown that … Continue reading

Future Inventions

Insect Robots Advances in microelectronics is making yesterday’s science fiction into tomorrow’s future inventions. Scientists at the University of California have implanted beetles with miniaturized electronics that allows the insects to be controlled. Research presented at a conference in Italy demonstrated a new technology for creatiing “cyborg insects”. The flying beetles receive wireless signals from … Continue reading

Nano Memory

Nano Memory 1,000 Times Faster Nanoscale computer memory retrieves data 1,000 times faster Memory Storage Electronic memory designs in the past have largely relied on the formation of transistors. However, research into crossbar switch based electronics have offered an alternative using reconfigurable interconnections between vertical and horizontal wiring arrays to create ultra high density memories. … Continue reading
