Today my group and I realized that there were a few unanswered questions regarding the intricacies of our quantum dot panel. For example, deciding the frequencies used in the sounds emitted was difficult because generally with wavelengths (in meters) in the 1.0 X 10^-7, these frequencies are in the range of 1.o X 10^14 , […]
Today at the very beginning of the morning our group saw Harry Potter and the Half-Blooded Prince, who turned out to be a teacher at the Hogwartz School of Magic, which involved huge hallways and magic potion rooms. Harry was successfully able to create this potion out of actual modesty, even though his book had […]
Today’s labs were quite interesting. We were able to work with magnetite, whose chemical compound is Fe3O4. We formed this by using both Ferric and Ferrous ions combined with three hydroxide ions, forming a FeO(OH) compound which combined with tetramethylammonium hydroxide. This made me realize that nucleation reactions can occur unexpectedly and spontaneously without any […]
Today, we observed the plasma machines doing their work, maintaining the perfect temperature for all bonds to be broken, keeping everything in plasma form instead of as atoms. This was interesting because it made me think how interesting it is that everything can maintain its bonds normally, things don’t just fly around breaking covalent bonds […]
I found out today that almost all nanotechnology possibilities are related to medicine. Interestingly, there are other ways to implement nanotechnology even though they seem to be computerized for only one reason: to heal the human body when it is in trouble. They can theoretically live in the lungs and help electrolyze water into hydrogen and […]
Interestingly, today my group and I realized that a glass screen could contain nanoparticles all inside a water fish tank-like container. We found some interesting information involving quantum dots, such as that they can emit noises when moving based on speed if connected to speakers, and they can also emit certain colors based on their […]
Blog for Wednesday third day of the class Group X. Today it was realized that the lab coats can contain nanoparticles that keep off all stains, and the way that this is possible is because the electrolytes and dyes inside the solutions involved are reflected off the lab coat. This creates an interesting perspective for […]
Blog for Tuesday of first week of Nanotechnology course: I realized that nanoparticles could do some very interesting things. They can reach into the human body and attack foreign cells for help when the human body is not able to do such things. They also have some artistic abilities, which involve the screens where the […]
