Last Friday, we presented our idea for the project that Adam gave to us, which asked us to “imagine the impossible”. Before, our project was about nanobots in a hemophiliac’s system to change their DNA and to produce Factor VIII. However, we decided that the subject lacked a creative style and “impossible” flare. Instead, my […]
This morning, we went and watched Harry potter and the Half-Blood Prince. the film had many scientific and fantasty characteristics. Hopefully, in the near future, we could copy the movie magic and transfer it into reality. In all of the Harry Potter novels and films, Harry possesses a cloak that has the ability to […]
Today, I witnessed one of the coolest things ever. No, I’m not talking about Harry Potter- that’s tomorrow-, but what I did see was ferrofluids in action. Ferrofluid is a liquid that becomes polarized in the presence of a magnet or a magnetic field. When it is magnetized, it will usually become cone-like prongs that […]
Today, we visited the UCLA Plasma Research Center. It was really crazy and awesome. Before I went to the research center, I didn’t know much about plasma. All I knew about the subject was that it was the fourth matter of state and an ionized gas. Although I knew some aspects of plasma, I didn’t […]
“Imagine the Impossible”. That was what we had to do. We had to think of something impossible that could someday be possible, using ideas that concerned Nanotechnology. My group had many ideas for the project. We even made this huge list of ideas for the project, however, none of them seem too amazing until we […]
On the black table, the fluorescent cubes sat, captivating everyone’s attention. Everyone in the crowd sat and stared, wide-eyed, jaws locked. Shining on everyone’s faces different hues, the man explained how the objects worked and how they could help science. Everyone kept watching the glowing shapes, unable to release their attention. So, it wasn’t that […]
Today, as I sat in my seat, waiting, I learned something amazing that blew my mind. During the Nanotechnology lessons, I realized that Nanotechnology affects many subjects and broadens the subjects. One of the main things nanotechnology affects greatly is medicine. In a field called nanomedicine, nanotechnology allows scientists and doctors to understand new things, […]
Today, I asked myself what nanotechnology is. Is it the use of technology of microscopic proportions that will further society into the future? Or is it the study of minuscule organisms and the way humans will soon use them to further our race? It is all of those. Presently, […]
