Can nanomaterial toxicity affect global warming?

Henry Jones — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 18:05:03 +0000

many researches are going on in nanotechnology and so nanomaterials toxicity can’t be overlooked ,can such a toxicity be an impedence in the way of an environment to become greener? is nanomaterial toxicity instrumental in increasing global warming??? pls give good answers beacuse they are going to help me in brushing up the content for the paper that i will be reading in some conference….

Entrepreneurs in The Caribbean Islands Look to Make a Splash in the World Economy

Henry Jones — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 09:29:10 +0000

When you think of the Caribbean, you might picture a tropical paradise with friendly people and world-class luxury resorts. It’s a place where you would want to go on your honeymoon or just to escape from city life when it gets on your nerves. Normally, most people would not consider the Caribbean as a place for doing business; let alone starting one. Well, that’s all changing at this very moment and now could be the best time to get involved in a new movement while it is still in its formative stages.While immaculate beaches with a view of the vast turquoise sea may be an ideal destination for your next vacation, it’s also become an ideal place for entrepreneurs and existing companies to either start or expand a business. Many Americans, Canadians and Europeans have come to study in countries like Jamaica, Barbados, Grenada, St. Lucia, Antigua and Puerto Rico because of programs set up by their governments to attract students from all over the globe, making the Caribbean a breeding ground for the next wave of bright new innovators in science, technology, medicine and business management. Particular attention has been paid to improving research programs in nanotechnology and ocean energy as investors look for innovative ideas from entrepreneurs who are looking to start new industries that create new opportunities for growth not only within the region, but also internationally.From an investor’s standpoint, having the beach close by is not the only advantage for starting a business in the Caribbean. Some countries have taken steps of attracting companies to the Caribbean by reducing the cost of doing business (such as low or no income and capital gain taxes), which has led to a noticeable increase in foreign investors. As entrepreneurs begin their efforts to hit upon an opportunity to showcase their ideas, finding independent investors becomes crucial. Many young entrepreneurs will have a hard time finding venture capital in a region that has not yet established itself as a business centre. That’s where business angels enter.Angel investors are affluent individuals who are willing to take on the challenge of preparing intelligent yet inexperienced entrepreneurs for the challenge of establishing new companies by not only providing monetary backing, but also sharing their knowledge of the market and how to weather the bumps along the way. That’s why the Angel Investment Network is such a vital forum for investors and entrepreneurs to meet and realize their common goal: putting the Caribbean on the world economic map.

Where can I find articles to study relation between nanotechnology and chemistry?

Henry Jones — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 07:25:20 +0000

I am a chemistry major ( undergrad ) and I want to know which area of chemistry should I study which can relate both of these evolutionary fields. As of my interests, I have interest in organic chemistry. Thanks

Progress: Science – Nanotechnology 3

The JPK biomat™ workstation is designed for the study of opaque samples combining upright optical microscopy with AFM for surface science and life science. This animation illustrates the design principle.

DLP advertising video projection on clear glass

Henry Jones — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 03:07:54 +0000

This demo shows a modified DLP projector making a sample ad appear in about 30 width blue on clear glass. The glass uses the same nanotechnology film as our normal laser projector, converting blu ray and UV light into blue on contact. The point of differentiation with this technology is that is allows one to put animated messaging on completely clear surfaces. Nothing else does that. You can use posters. You can use opaque LCD screens. You can hang a TV in the window. You can frost a window to make it translucent so it catches part but not all of a projected image. But none of the alternatives keep the window clear, so you can use the window for what it is, a transparent barrier, and still see through it. With all alternative technologies, you might as well have a wall instead of a window. As we all know, windows are better and invite customers into the store. Keep your windows. Use them for dynamic messaging with superimagings mediaglass!

Mechanical Engineering For Everyone

Henry Jones — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 19:30:42 +0000

Mechanical engineering is an exciting frontier for those who are very much passionate and driven to create, plan and develop new technologies for the betterment of society. Mechanical engineering takes a multidisciplinary approach by taking elements of various sciences to create and devices that work for men. For the driven student who is curious about the program, there are certain things you have to understand and attain for you to be successful in this field.
Firstly, because it is multidisciplinary it combines various sciences to create new technologies. For mechanical engineering, you need to have competent knowledge in algebra, geometry, trigonometry and calculus as well as biology, chemistry and physics. The programs and courses for mechanical engineering are accredited to ensure that these are always relevant for the ever-changing technologies and needs of society.
You also need good communication skills. This is not only done by talking and writing but also in devising plans and models to have a miniature picture of the device you are working on. It is best to have training in both 2-D and 3-D design. You also need to study hard and enjoy while doing it. You will get to study a lot of technical and theoretical stuff as well as other disciplines like thermodynamics and kinematics. Studying seriously is as important as having fun doing it. These will enable you to have the proper bases for your career.
There are a lot of various disciplines involved in mechanical engineering. Some are very much in a conceptual phase like in nanotechnology and robotics. These have a lot of potential for future studies and applications. The continuous growth and diversification of technology has become so wide. You can always find something to develop, create and invent.
If you are interested in a career in mechanical engineering, you have to be open to new ideas, study hard and always look forward to new things. You have to be always curious about how things work and how things can work better. It is always moving forward with mechanical engineering. Push the boundaries of science and discover new things in life.

Would joining the navy benefit my future careers?

Henry Jones — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 15:38:17 +0000

I am currently getting an AA in Nanoscience. I plan to go to college again for Electrical Engineering. These are my options.
I could join the navy as an Engineer Officer through OCS or I could join the work force after college.
I no problems doing either, i.e. i don’t mind being stuck in a submarine for 4 years and not seeing my family.
I would like to make lots of money being an engineer for a tech company.
I think for the 4 years of working for as an engineer for companies would give me valuable experience with computer chips i need if i want to become a project manager for a company like Intel.
I know the navy would have many benefits but I don’t know all of them and if they would be worth it.
Thanks for you advice.

could anybody direct me to a scientist or somebody who could tell me about nanotecnology?

Henry Jones — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 17:41:09 +0000

Somebody who would be willing to converse thru email. They don’t have to be a scientist, just anyone who might know anything about the application of nanotech. This is for an educational project, and it doesn’t require much time to respond to so please help.
ummm well i’ve gotten a couple really official sounding people, but could I get an email adress for a specific corespondence?
