Nanotech in motion.
IMAGE: YUJI SAKAI / DIGITALVISION / GETTY IMAGES Environmental, political and public health concerns are pushing the automotive industry to develop profitable green technologies. In this Insight, we look at how nanotechnology is contributing to the cause. Three pieces focus on battery nanomaterials, scalable production of hydrogen and a possible alternative for platinum-group-free membranes for...
متن کاملDemocratizing nanotech, then and now.
In October 2006, in the first issue of this journal, I described the idea of ‘democratizing science’ — a state of affairs in which non-experts have active and constructive roles in science policy decisions1. At that time, there were expectations that nanotechnology would be a laboratory for experimenting with the idea of democratizing science. From this came an impressive battery of focus group...
متن کاملExocytosis unbound.
The accepted theory of vesicular release of neurotransmitter posits that only a single vesicle per synapse can fuse with the membrane following action potential invasion, and this exocytotic event is limited to the ultrastructurally defined presynaptic active zone. Neither of these dictums is universally true. At certain synapses, more than a single vesicle can be released per action potential,...
متن کاملEmerging Nanotech Applications in the Oil Industry
With the introduction of nanotechnology, energy industries envisage a potential revolutionary change in the field of exploration, development and production. Research by universities into such areas as nanosensors, nanomarkers and nanobots to provide valuable data regarding the reservoir are of great focus due to their large potential return on investment, but have yet to yield substantive prod...
متن کاملMemory traces unbound.
The idea that new memories are initially 'labile' and sensitive to disruption before becoming permanently stored in the wiring of the brain has been dogma for >100 years. Recently, we have revisited the hypothesis that reactivation of a consolidated memory can return it to a labile, sensitive state - in which it can be modified, strengthened, changed or even erased! The data generated from some...
