POPSNano-Solar Power -Will it Be the Next Revolutionary Technology? Not that the technology is perfect. The system can absorb energy very well, but that's no good to anyone until they work out a way to harvest it from the sheet - when you're dealing with a hyper-complex web of millions of units oscillating at trillions of cycles per second, you can't just solder copper wires to the ends and call them plus and minus. This isn't a mistake or a weakness in the concept though; it's an issue because no-one has ever done this before. You know, the kind of thing that happens with cutting edge invention.

POPSGold nanoparticles go couture They say the difference in price is like comparing a Toyota with a BMW What is a surprise, is the number of colours that result. Other metal compounds can have particular colours, such as the red of lead or iron oxide (rust), the blue of Copper nitrate, and while silver nitrate has been used in photography, This is the first time colours have been drawn from Gold and silver in this way. One of the reasons Gold is so expensive, apart from it's history, and the futures market, is because it has so many applications.

POPSNatural 'Invisible' Gold Found In Nanoparticles “On investigation of these crystals, there appeared to be a dark band across them. However, high magnification imaging showed the band was in fact, a mass of gold nanoparticles and nanoplates. These are identical to those being manufactured in laboratories around the world for their unique properties.”

POPSNanotubes yield the Blackest Black 30 times darker than the current Standard of Blackness set by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology. The light that hits it is not reflected it is collected, but they have so far been working with visible light, and are continuing tests with other wavelengths. The creator Pulickel Ajayan, also holds the 2006 Guiness Book record for worlds smallest brush

POPSA nanotech Bible " A nanometer is equal to one billionth of meter or one millionth of a millimeter. The resulting letters can be observed only with a scanning electron microscope. " the original nano-Bible ia the size of a crystal of sugar. It will be displayed near a 7 by 7 meter photo (10,000 times expanded) hung in the Technion physics faculty. make the 10 mullion bits text possible 2b read with a naked eye.
