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 […]
So today we learned how they’re using nano-technology in medicine. One nanometer is equal to one billionth of a meter. Did you know the nose can smell 25 parts per million in the air? We also went into quantum dots again which is clusters of semi-conductors, single oxcitation, and multi-color emission. If its 2nm then […]
Today we went to the microscopes labs and learned bout the different types and got to look through them. A few types included compound, electron, field ion (visualize atom) scanning tunneling function (structure). Three types: the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), the Transmission Electron Microscope where the electrons go through the sample and detectors receive electrons […]
Day 1: Top-Bottom; Bottom-Up Macro. Micro. Large. Small. This is what differentiates the visual world from the invisible. Today, we learned about the different microscopes used by scientists to accommodate the growing field of nanotechnology. Among these include compound microscopes, electron microscopes, field ion microscopes, and scanning tunneling microscopes. Truly, the human eye has evolved […]
