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 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 کاملBüchi Complementation Made Tighter
The complementation problem for nondeterministic word automata has numerous applications in formal verification. In particular, the language-containment problem, to which many verification problems is reduced, involves complementation. For automata on finite words, which correspond to safety properties, complementation involves determinization. The 2 blow-up that is caused by the subset constru...
متن کاملProgramming with Tighter Control
This paper formalizes continuations as functions abstracting a delimited context instead of an unlimited one. When made available in an expression language such as Scheme, they provide a functional abstraction of control that can be used as any ordinary procedure. This approach sheds light on the applicative aspects of continuations by getting rid of their imperative part: jumping, and makes it...
