Nanotechnology

of resistant bacteria that render a drug useless or when prescribing them for a virus, does absolutely nothing. But as I look at you with tears streaming down your faces, stricken with desperation, I will assure you there is hope for humanity! Nanotechnology, Will be an unfamiliar topic for many of you, but it is now the way of the future for most medical treatment. Theoretically, micro objects the size of living cells will be able to enter human bodies and perform a wide range of jobs…

Signing up for I101 was a no-brainer for me as a direct admit to the School of Informatics and Computing. Although I started the course with a basic understanding of what the difference between informatics and computer science was, I continue to learn the difference in the details between the two fields. I have declared informatics as my major, but the class has sparked an interest in computer science and I have been considering a minor in the field. During my last two years of high school I…

pathogenic microorganisms.(Nanoparticles and potential apps, Biomedical applications,Antimicrobial activities of silver nanoparticles, Green synthesis, A review on plants extract mediated, Antimicrobial Properties).It is multidisciplinary area where in nanotechnology has led to major developments in health and medicine due to the integration the biotechnology in it (heralding new future-jyothi s a bhat). Nanoparticles such as silver, gold, zinc oxide and titanium oxide are being adopted as…

What is the Bionic Eye and how are Australians involved? A bionic eye mimics the function of the retina to restore sight for those with severe vision loss. It’s proudly pioneered by Australia, giving Aussies a great name to Science. Researches from the Bionic Ear Institute, University of Melbourne and the University of New South Wales are in the development of a better bionic eye, which incorporates easier lifestyle. The inventor of the bionic eye Mark Humayun invented the first prototype of the…

The first thing I noticed as I stepped off the plane in Kathmandu, Nepal, was the heat. Then I noticed my thirst. Then I remembered how my volunteering group was warned of the dirty water that may cause, and I quote, “explosive diarrhea.” Never in my life had I imagined a lack of potable water being a problem I’d have to face. Growing up in the small, affluent town of Saratoga, I have always been somewhat sheltered from the many hardships in life– especially poverty. Granted, my parents have…

Emerging technology in this field comes out fairly frequently. “Emerging technologies, such as nanotechnology, wearable electronics, brain-computer interfaces, 3D printing, and others benefit from multidisciplinary approaches and cross-fertilization among disciplines”(WF). Many of these technologies, impact countless parts of our lives, which can enhance…

an app to drive it all. Headed by Andrew Conrad, Verily Life Sciences is Alphabet’s Life Science Department. Their current projects include Contact Lenses that monitor Glucose levels, health-tracking wristbands with disease-detecting nanotechnology, surgical robots, and development in bioelectric…

Tata Chemicals Limited is a global company with interests in businesses that focus on LIFE: Living, Industry and Farm Essentials. The story of the company is about harnessing the fruits of science for goals that go beyond business. This story began in Mithapur, Gujarat in western India with the creation of a plant that would raise a wealth of marine chemicals from the ocean, with the potential to touch human lives in many ways. From these humble beginnings a market-leading international business…

Aside from the main areas of hardware and software, I can explore areas like nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, robotics, power/energy, and many others. Grand Valley State University offers many of these opportunities and I am excited to find my passion within these areas and ultimately use the knowledge and passion I gain to better…

What makes a civil engineer different than any of the many other branches of engineering? Well it is certain that all branches of engineering must have a proficient understanding of math, science and technology in order to succeed (Georgia Tech, “What is Engineering”). Civil engineers however must be able to take the knowledge from these three areas and apply to create or enhance public works. A public work is nearly every type of transportation and transportation center, including space…
