It might work for the local water is used to power the car? Scientists believe they can do everything. Researchers at Sandia National Labs plans to complete development of a prototype solar cell that turns ordinary water into fuel! They have already demonstrated the feasibility of the concept. These cells, as water could replace oil as a motor fuel of choice. Is this real? How is it possible?
Water is number one struggle against the fires. But what if we break it down into its elements? Remember science class, right? That’s where they taught us the water consists of two atoms of hydrogen combine with one oxygen atom. Hydrogen, the most abundant element on earth, is very explosive. Oxygen is necessary for any form of combustion. States in their singular components of the water is a recipe for burning fuel.
Sandia researchers have also developed a robot that can move, pick up and drop the payload. Not a big deal you say? What if I told you that 20 of these androids take a side-by-side across the width (not length), and hair; impressed now? Called “motor proteins”, these soldiers can be designed to find each other and assemble themselves predictable patterns. Nature itself brings all the predictable patterns of flora and fauna. We are only now beginning to learn the secrets of her mother.
Science in a small
Hail world of Nano-technology, science early. You will hear the word “nano” a lot. The Greek word for dwarf, you can not get any smaller. What size? Well, it would equal 80,000 nanometers in width of a human hair we have just discussed. Now what is small.
This science allows us to manipulate the atomic scale for the first time.
Re-arrange the atoms of water, dirt and air, and we can create a rice or corn. If we arrange the atoms of carbon, we can create diamonds. Or should I say, this is happening now! Boston-based Apollo Diamond creates what he calls “cultured diamonds”, which are virtually “impossible” to distinguish between diamonds. They are real. Jewelers can not leave!
Diamonds are 60000000000 dollar a year industry. This technique promises to reduce the price of diamonds of at least one third to begin with. What implications does this firmly held by the global diamond trade? Oh, honey is far away? And this has an impact on the currency exchange?
Surprisingly survey of American adults found more than half acknowledge that any information at all about nanotechnology. Only 16% of respondents say they have “some” familiar with the subject. Nanotechnology observers disagree whether or not this is an area unique. But no one agrees with its impact on our lives is, finally, is actually living a very long time.
