The electron microscope revolutionized biology in the 1930s by providing magnifications thousands of times higher than that of light microscopes, allowing scientists to discern the inner workings of cells for the first time. But it was not nearly as helpful for materials scientists such as the ones constructing electronic circuits, who were more interested in surfaces Continue reading

NASA Sees Curiosity Rover’s Parachute Flapping in Martian Wind (Video)
NASA’s most powerful spacecraft orbiting Mars has captured amazing new images of the huge parachute used by the agency’s Curiosity rover when it safely landed on the Red Planet last August. A video of the NASA images of Curiosity’s parachute shows it billowing in the Martian wind. The views were recorded by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter currently circling the planet Continue reading
NASA Mars rover ready to eat, analyze rock powder
CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (Reuters) – NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity, dispatched to learn if the planet ever had ingredients for life, drilled its first bit of powder from inside a potentially water-formed ancient rock, scientists said on Wednesday. The robotic geology station, which landed inside a giant impact basin on August 6 for a two-year mission, transferred about a tablespoon of rock powder from its drill into a scoop, pictures relayed by the rover Wednesday showed. “We’re all very happy to get this confirmation and relieved that the drilling was a complete success,” Curiosity engineer Scott McCloskey of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, told reporters on a conference call Continue reading

Nano Track – Self cleaning coating on glass with nanotechnology, test with dirty water – Video
Nano Track – Self cleaning coating on glass with nanotechnology, test with dirty water Nano Track offers a coating that makes most surfaces become almost maintenance free and easily cleaned. This is because the coating makes the surface water repellent (hydrophobic) with very strong anti-stick properties. Because of this, dirt is picked up by water and then gets carried away.
