The Issue Of Ethics In The Development Of Nanotechnology

March 24, 2018 Adken Brown One comment

Ethics are an important part of a scientific development that one cannot overlook. While some will look at technological capabilities and potential profits, others must consider the impact that the technology has on society and our world. This is the case in the development of nanotechnology, and concerns about ethics in Nanotechnology are increasing.

There are many positive ventures highlighted here, with social and medical benefits. Some are now concerned about what could happen if nanotech moves into other industries, and into the wrong hands.

Are these concerns justified, and should we pay more attention to who is using this tech?

The Potential For Growth In Nanoelectronics Within Modern Technology

January 8, 2018 Adken Brown Leave a comment

Nanotechnology is the way forward for many industries. The key to the improved technology is to go smaller. Smaller means less space required, less power, greater convenience and more. Therefore, nano applications are now seen more and more in different areas.

Nanotechnology is of keen interest in medical and military applications because of those benefits. In addition to these, many countries are investing in nanoelectronics.

There is a strong desire for increased development in molecular and nano electronics. These applications can improve networks and form whole new devices on a microscopic scale. There is even the chance to use this tech to improve the way that we create future nanotech.…

Nanotech To Boost Capabilities of Agriculture Drones

December 18, 2017 Adken Brown Leave a comment

There is a more practical, accessible, and fun side to this nanotech world. Nanotechnology is being used in the drone/UAV industry to expand capabilities and reduce costs.

According to BestDroneForTheJob, drones and UAVs are being used today to increase productivity and reduce costs in a variety of industries including mining, real estate, agriculture, and aerial surveying.

When people think of the intersection between nanotech and drones, they probably picture tiny little devices flying around like bugs on battlegrounds or running around your body – like mechanical mosquitoes injecting into your bloodstream. This thinking is mostly still sci-fi used to scare people.

In the real world, nanotech is being used far more widely in the drone industry to reduce weight, to extend flight times and to make these useful robot helpers work harder – for us.

Nanotechnology: Nanomaterials And The Purple Mattress

July 2, 2017 Adken Brown 3 comments

The world of science and technology is one that is continuously changing and evolving. Currently, one of the hottest buzzwords in scientific and technological is nano-manufacturing. This is a process through which nanoscale materials are made. Nanoscale, in this case, refers to a length of between 1 and 100 nanometers.

Nanomaterials are usually produced to magnify the unique characteristic of the material in question. Nanomaterials may end up having unique electrical, catalytic, mechanical, thermal or even imaging capabilities. The versatile nature of nanotechnology and nanomaterials make them quite useful in a wide range of industries from the military to medicine and even down to the industrial sectors.…
