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 […]
After yesterday, even though I thought that nanotechnology was very interesting, I was beginning to think that I may not be cut out for a career in science. I also was not really understanding the relation between science and art. Today, however, I felt that I really gained a better understanding and liking for nanotechnology. […]
Materials: Coming to Life While life has been long lauded for its resilience, it is often facile to overlook the seemingly simple mediums that serve as the key to its continuation. This is why materials are integral to culture, life, and science. As ambiguous as “materials” may sound, their relevance to mankind and the advancement […]
07.09.09 UCLA- Everything in this world deteriorates. However we try our best to preserve some of the great masterpieces for the children of tomorrow. Surprisingly, art is one of the harder things to keep preserved according to guest speaker Giacomo Chiari, chief scientist of the Getty Museum. It seems that its an everyday problem figuring […]
My presentation group brainstormed and decided on an idea today. When I first heard about how the presentations were to be done and what they were suppose to be about I was less than enthused. Once my group finally picked a topic and started really going in-depth with it, I became genuinely After a lot […]
Today we did an introduction into nanotechnology. I came to UCLA with extremely limited knowledge on the topic so I am glad that we had this lecture to start of the program. We also had a lecture about the correlation between art and science and even though I am beginning to see similarities between the […]
So today was a pretty intressting day. We learned more about renweable energy sources and the impact on how us human beings live our everday lives. I think science that has a huge effect on the average person is definitely the most important. To better the lives of the normal person is to better the […]
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 […]
Our day today was filled with teachings on nano silver, cancer cells, and different types of microscopes. What I found especially interesting was the research being done to find some cures for cancer. There are many surprising differences between cancer cells and normal cells such as pH level, rigidity, and nucleus size. Using these differences […]
Its the third day, and my mood is uneasy. I’ve tried my hardest during the lectures to stay awake but my eye lids seem to get heavier and heavier every second. Well, let me try to give my opinion of what I have heard or remembered. Solar cells seem to be a “new” technology. Well, […]
