Chemists find that metal atoms play key role in fine organic synthesis

Posted by in categories: chemistry, information science, nanotechnology, particle physics, robotics/AI

A small team of chemists at the Russian Academy of Sciences, has found that metal atoms, not nanoparticles, play the key role in catalysts used in fine organic synthesis. In the study, reported in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, the group used multiple types of electron microscopy to track a region of a catalyst during a reaction to learn more about how it was proceeding.

Prior research has shown that there are two main methods for studying a reaction. The first is the most basic: As ingredients are added, the reaction is simply observed and/or measured. This can be facilitated through use of high-speed cameras. This approach will not work with nanoscale reactions, of course. In such cases, chemists use a second method: They attempt to capture the state of all the components before and after the reaction and then compare them to learn more about what happened.

This second approach leaves much to be desired, however, as there is no way to prove that the objects under study correspond with one another. In recent years, have been working on a new approach: Following the action of a single particle during the reaction. This new method has proven to have merit but it has limitations as well—it also cannot be used for reactions that occur in the nanoworld. In this new effort, the researchers used multiple types of electron microscopy coupled with .

Bio-nano approach flips artificial photosynthesis for hydrogen on its head

Posted by in categories: biological, nanotechnology, solar power, sustainability

An artificial photosynthesis system that combines semiconducting nanoparticles with a non-photosynthetic bacterium could offer a promising new route for producing sustainable solar-driven hydrogen fuel.

Other artificial photosynthesis systems that integrate nanomaterials into living microbes have been developed before, which reduce carbon dioxide or produce hydrogen, for example. However, usually it is the microorganism itself that makes the product via a metabolic pathway, which is aided by a light-activated nanomaterial that supplies necessary electrons.

Now, the labs of Kara Bren and Todd Krauss at the University of Rochester, US, have turned this concept on its head. They have designed a new hybrid bio-nano system that combines a finely-tuned photocatalytic semiconducting nanoparticles to make hydrogen with a bacterium which, while it does not photosynthesise or make hydrogen itself, it provides the necessary electrons to the nanomaterial to synthesise hydrogen.

Two-component system could offer a new way to halt internal bleeding

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, chemistry, engineering, nanotechnology

MIT engineers have designed a two-component system that can be injected into the body and help form blood clots at the sites of internal injury. These materials, which mimic the way that the body naturally forms clots, could offer a way to keep people with severe internal injuries alive until they can reach a hospital.

In a mouse model of internal injury, the researchers showed that these components—a nanoparticle and a polymer—performed significantly better than hemostatic that were developed earlier.

“What was especially remarkable about these results was the level of recovery from severe injury we saw in the animal studies. By introducing two complementary systems in sequence it is possible to get a much stronger clot,” says Paula Hammond, an MIT Institute Professor, the head of MIT’s Department of Chemical Engineering, a member of the Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research, and one of the senior authors of a paper on the study.

BRAVE NEW WORLD (Full TV Movie Re-Edit) NWO Cut + Aldous Huxley Interview 1958

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, internet, media & arts, nanotechnology

A Re-Edited version of Aldous Huxleys classic, Brave New World

My original plan was to only show parts relevent to present times
 Then I realised that this is the blue print for our future
 And the future is here, now and present
 What we do from here is anyones guess
 This should be seen by EVERY HUMAN ALIVE
 It is the story of our fate and final destruction
 We are already at the tipping point
 Don’t accept their bullshit
 Fight back with NON COMPLIANCE!!! DO NOT ACCEPT 5G
 DO NOT ACCEPT BIO-TECHNICS
 DO NOT ACCEPT IMPLANTS, VACCINES, NANO-TECH, etc, etc, etc
 The future is ours if we take it
 Or leave it to the World Rulling Psychopaths
 The choice is YOURS!!!

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

New Therapy Found to Prevent Aggressive Brain Cancer Recurrence in Mice

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, nanotechnology, robotics/AI

A new gel-based treatment for glioblastoma—a highly aggressive form of brain cancer—has shown to be 100% effective at preventing recurrence in mice. Researchers hope the therapy will translate well into human physiology, where it could help resolve tens of thousands of cancer diagnoses every year.

Glioblastoma manifests as a tumor growing on the brain or spinal cord. While many glioblastoma patients have the tumor surgically removed, the mass often returns, even in cases involving post-surgical radiation or chemotherapy. The disease is so persistent that the average patient lives only 12 to 16 months after diagnosis, making glioblastoma one of the most lethal forms of cancer currently understood.
