Abatement Check of Nano Contaminants
By Lance Winslow

In the future we will need procedures and specialized protocol to deal with nano contaminants. As mankind learns more about the science of NanoTech and creates micron sized materials, which are so small you cannot see we will need to address the issues of cleaning up contaminants at a nano molecular level. Easier said than done, nevertheless abatement checks and specialized sensors will need to be developed as this new Nano Tech research and development gets underway.

Consider if you will be possibility of Nano Tech manufacturing at the molecular level, which might be so small it could escape the building in which the manufacturing is being done and once out of the building and into the environment it would continue to build and this would be the starting of a Nano Tech eco disaster. Obviously I am pro technology but at the same time do not read these words of caution as a doom and gloom prophesy, as my goal is not to scare people but rather to make us think and it is up to us as we explore innovation into the next century that we also pay attention to what we're doing.

As humans become their own God and play God with micron sized nano technologies, then we'd better pay attention to what we're doing and we owe it to ourselves and our children to do the right thing. I therefore propose abatement checks and specialized sensors to be funded along with the Nano Technology of tomorrow to ensure a safe passage into future periods in the forward progression of mankind. Consider this in 2006.

Silver Nano Health Technology
By Trent Allan

What is it?

To explain simply, Silver Nano is a technology that some manufacturers are implemented into many of its appliances, which is meant to provide “strong anti-bacterial and deodorising” effects. The reason they call it the Silver Nano is because ionised silver is actually used in the technology, the silver is meant to attract and kill off bad bacteria.

How does it work?

Without trying to put you to sleep, I will attempt to explain how the technology works. When the tiny Silver Nano particles touch or come into contact with bacteria, they kill off, or suppress the life of the bacteria, which in turn inhibits cell growth. Samsung, one manufacturer using the technology claim that it removes 99.9% of all harmful bacteria within 24 hours of it being applied.

To give you an example, Samsung’s new front load washing machines are just one of the appliances that are now using the Silver Nano technology. When a wash cycle is started, billions of silver ions are released and dissolve into the water, killing off bad bacteria. At the same time, your clothes are coated in the silver, which they claim will protect them for up to 30 days after the initial wash.

Because the silver kills bacteria, it is said to kill bad odours in their tracks, so Samsung has applied the Silver Nano coating to the inner walls of some of its refrigerators. This helps to keep the fridge smelling nice and clean, while preventing the spread of bacteria and fungi.

So is it worth it?

Is the Silver Nano technology something that we will see applied to all appliances in future, or will it be like a lot of other fads which we see phase out over the next few years? Well, I think the answer to this question comes down to the fact of, do we need it? Do we actually need this enhanced cleaning system in our appliances, or are the current products good enough? To be fair I don’t see the harm in the technology, anything that has the smallest chance of keeping us healthy and hygienic has to be a good thing, but it really comes down to whether you are willing to fork out the extra from your back pocket.

Removing Nanomites from the Human BioSystem
By Lance Winslow

In the future we will probably have a convergence of the sciences of nano materials and biotech. In this new world scientists will develop nano mites, which will be used in the human bio system to go in and repair damaged cells or elimitate cancer cells. The next problem will be how to get the nano mites out of the human bile system once they've done their job.

If they are not removed the enhanced immune system will attack them and then there will be a micro biological war going on inside of the human body clogging it up and hurting the system. I propose removing the nano mites by way of magnetic expulsion. That is to say using magnets to bring the nano mites to a certain part of the body in order to extract them.

At the rendezvous point there will be an incision made to allow the nano mites to flow out with the blood and then they can be collected to prevent them from escaping. Next the nano mites will be melted down at super high temperatures as toxic bio waste. This may be one potential solution to the problem of what to do with the nano mites once they are inside the human bio system and have completed their jobs.

The future of biotech and nanotech are merging and soon such procedures will be available to help in life extension and the curing of diseases. I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought. The goal is simple; to help you in your quest to be the best in 2007. I thank you for reading my many articles on diverse subjects, which interest you.

Prisons of Nano Tube Construction
By Lance Winslow

With our US Prison system’s costs going through the roof and burdening the taxpayer, we know we must cut these huge budgets. One of the biggest problems in the corrections industry is the unbelievable number of illegal aliens in our nations prisons. We need to figure out how to cut the high labor costs. You see it costs up to $60,000 per year to house a dangerous criminal, but you can send 8-10 students to college for a year for that type of money. You see the problem?

If we can make the prisons out of carbon nano tube sheets, we will be able to save labor costs. You have heard of nano technology most likely. There are endless applications for carbon nano tubes due to their strength and abilities to conduct electricity. In fact due to their lightweight, strength, transparency and ability to hold a charge the uses are truly endless indeed.

One excellent use for transparent carbon nano tubes would be to make the prison cells out of this material. You could make the carbon nano tubes opaque unless you put a charge to them, thus turn them transparent. In doing so it would make it really easy to monitor the inmates. Also since the carbon nano tubes would be 50 times stronger than steel and could withstand any earthquake, imagine the benefits in such a change in building materials. Think on this.

A novel NiSi technology with bi-layer Co/TiN structure as a capping layer is proposed for the highly thermal immune Ni Silicide technology. Much better thermal immunity of Ni Silicide was certified up to 700°C, 30 min post silicidation furnace annealing by introducing Co/TiN bi-layer capping. The proposed structure is successfully applied to nanoscale CMOSFET with a gate length of 80 nm. The sheet resistance of nano-scale gate poly shows little degradation even after the high temperature furnace annealing of 650°C, 30 min. The Ni/Co/TiN structure is very promising for the nano-scale MOSFET technology which needs the ultra shallow junction and high temperature post silicidation processes

NanoTube Cancer Weapons
By Lance Winslow

Nano Technology may in fact hold the keys to fighting many different types of cancer in the human bio-system. The technologies are so promising we may see survival rates skyrocket, thus everyone can live strong in the upcoming decade. Nano Tubes use in fighting cancer is indeed, a unique process; it works by inserting tiny microscopic carbon synthetic rods into the body to deliver the cancer treatment to the exact spot needed. By directly aiming the rods into the cancer cells, the healthy tissue is saved.

This research is quite promising and is being researched by Stanford University. Chemotherapy seems to becoming a thing of the past. That is the theory that nuking the body and seeing which dies first; the cancer or the person. Even when the human survives it is left with huge amounts of destroyed tissue, which was not cancerous. When you see a person who is using chemotherapy to treat the cancer you see their hair fallout, but that is only one of many dire and serious side effects.

These nanotubes are so small they are the width of a DNA strand. The nano tubes will be heated up using near infrared light in a laser beam, which takes about two-minutes. The cancerous cells are quickly destroyed. This research is only in the preliminary stages but should be solved within the coming decade.

The nano tubes will be coated with a vitamin called folate, which is found in cancerous cells, but does not normally bind with healthy cells. Once these tubes touch the cancerous area they quickly bind and then are electrified with near infrared laser light, killing the cells. Nano Tube technologies are quickly coming of age and once they are available this process should be relatively easy to use. One cancer already targeted is Lymphoma and tests of the process are being done on mice with good results. There are other cancers it might work on well to and have been suggested. For instance Ovarian Cancers, Cervical Cancer and others; Nano Technology and biomedical processes are coming of age as we speak.
