High definition diagnostic ultrasonics on the nanoscale

Monday, August 16th, 2010

Scientists and Engineers at The University of Nottingham have built the world’s smallest ultrasonic transducers capable of generating and detecting ultrasound. These revolutionary transducers which are orders of magnitude smaller than current systems – are so tiny that up to 500 of the smallest ones could be placed across the width of one human hair.

Submarines could use new nanotube technology for sonar and stealth

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

Speakers made from carbon nanotube sheets that are a fraction of the width of a human hair can both generate sound and cancel out noise — properties ideal for submarine sonar to probe the ocean depths and make subs invisible to enemies. That’s the topic of a report on these “nanotube speakers,” which appears in ACS’ Nano Letters.

How To Mark Stripes for Painting a Wall

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Painting stripes on walls is a popular decorating technique that gives the painted room the illusion of having a larger area. But to properly create this decor, you need to be careful that the stripes that you paint are consistent in their width and pattern. So before painting the stripes, you have to mark them so you know which stripes to paint a particular color

How To Calculate Wallpaper Measurements

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

Wallpaper installation can be tricky, especially when it comes to determining exactly how many rolls of wallpaper you need. While some people are satisfied with simply guessing the number of rolls, you can be more efficient and cost effective by computing the wallpaper measurements. Here’s how

‘Nanodragster’ races toward the future of molecular machines

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

Scientists in Texas are reporting the development of a “nanodragster” that may speed the course toward development of a new generation of futuristic molecular machines. The vehicle — only 1/50,000th the width of a human hair – resembles a hot-rod in shape and can outperform previous nano-sized vehicles. Their report is in ACS’ Organic Letters, a bi-weekly journal.
