Bioengineers Develop ‘Microscope On A Chip’
Researchers at the California Institute of Technology have turned science fiction into reality with their development of a super-compact high-resolution microscope, small enough to fit on a finger tip. This “microscopic microscope” operates without lenses but has the magnifying power of a top-quality optical microscope, can be used in the field to analyze blood samples for malaria or check water supplies for giardia and other pathogens, and can be mass-produced for around $10. |
Golden Scales: Nanoscale Mass Sensor Can Be Used To Weigh Individual Atoms And Molecules
There’s a new “gold standard” in the sensitivity of weighing scales. Using the same technology with which they created the world’s first fully functional nanotube radio, Berkeley Lab researchers have fashioned a nanoelectromechanical system that can function as a scale sensitive enough to measure the weight of a single atom of gold. This NEMS scale could prove especially useful for measuring the mass of proteins and other molecules which don’t fare well in mass spectrometry. |
NC Development Features Eco-Chic Waterfront Homes
 Holden Beach, North Carolina, is planning a low-impact development of luxury eco-friendly homes on an old lakeside site where sand and marl was harvested.By redeveloping this previously disturbed area, developers avoid building on a pristine or undisturbed habitat, but home buyers get a premium waterfront view. The 100-acre development being developed by Stone Chimney Development Company will be the county’s first to use low-impact standards prior to the county’s mandate to build in environmentally considerate ways.In an effort to add no new pollution to the local waterways, houses will feature native-plant rain gardens designed to capture stormwater runoff. The system will capture, treat and use rain water for the native-plant landscaping throughout the development without washing deposited pollutants into tributaries of the Lockwood Folly River. The state’s Division of Water Quality and Coastal Federation have worked closely with the property owner and developers to ensure that the project will not hinder ongoing restoration of the local watershed and will help prevent future pollution of the area’s waterways.Photo courtesty Wikimedia Commons |
Inventor, Engineering Students Explore New Type Of Solar Collectors
A team of students led by a chemical engineering professor are working with a New Jersey inventor to advance a new solar thermal collector. The engineering students pointed out that this is the first truly new solar thermal system in more than three decades, and the company stated that it is unique among renewable energy technologies as it is cost effective without any government subsidies. |
Flexible Nanoantenna Arrays Capture Abundant Solar Energy
Researchers have devised an inexpensive way to produce plastic sheets containing billions of nanoantennas that collect heat energy generated by the sun and other sources. The new technology is the first step toward a solar energy collector that could be mass-produced on flexible materials, say the researchers. |
