By simply casting a look towards our surroundings we can say that the amazing "inventions" of nature compete with the most advanced high technologies. The convergence between the living and the artificial world gave birth to an increasingly fecund science called bionics. This term was used for the first time by major... |

Only one thing comes to my mind when talking about carbon nanotube electrical properties, conductive transparent polymer plastics, which pretty much have a wide range of applications, especially in the manufacturing process of solar cells. It seems that the conductivity of a carbon nanotube additive can be changed re... |

Nature's brevets are amazing. Since toddlers, we can fall, hit our heads, experience accidents and yet, in most cases we escape without much damage. At the same weight, a bone is harder than steel, because if their shape and molecular structure. This mix of strength and resistance is encountered everywhere in n... |

Living organisms have amazing abilities. Toddlers fall and hit their head, older children fall from trees or bikes, sportsmen experience violent fractures, car drivers experience various accidents and we escape in most cases without much damage being done to our bodies. This mix of strength and resistance on relative... |

Graphene may very well be the material of the future and is currently of high scientific interest due to its unusual electronic properties. The single planar sheet of carbon atoms - pencil tips are made of multiple graphene sheets - is now the base of a revolutionary new material that will find many practical applic... |

It may take as little as ten years for the airplanes on long, international flights to be made more out of plastic than metal. The most modern aircrafts of today are made of aluminum, a light but strong material than can be easily obtained from natural compound.The airliners of tomorrow will be made of advanced carb... |

The sinister faces of the criminals look at you from facial composites. You know from movies how gifted artists make them in just a few minutes with just a pencil and a piece of paper. In fact, most police unities employ computer software, with a vast sample of facial traits (eyes, ears, hair and so on) at their disp... |
