One of their potential projects is using nanotechnology in order to make more efficient LED lights. Ordinary white LEDs generally consist of a blue light LED… »
After writing about ferrofluid sculptures and Stanford scientists that combined carbon nanotubes and paper, in this article we’re going to write about researchers at Purdue University who have created a magnetic ferropaper. The material is made by impregnating ordinary paper (even newsprint) with a mixture of mineral oil and “magnetic nanoparticles” of iron oxide. The… »
Here is a solution for those who wished they didn’t forget the cable to transfer data from their digital camera, or those who wished their digital camera had Wi-FI capabilities. Eye-Fi Inc. has developed the next generation Eye-Fi experience, which includes an entirely new platform and more flexible sharing options. Eye-Fi’s current line-up of wireless… »
After we wrote about combination of art and technology, it was natural to shift to a theme related to green architecture. Beside showing the right path to the future architects and showing exceptional examples to experienced folks of the trade, this theme is raising awareness about more responsible building that pays its higher cost through… »
Technology deals with human as well as other animal species’ usage and knowledge of tools and crafts, and how it affects a species’ ability to control and adapt to its natural environment. Among other stories we covered, in last year we wrote various articles regarding energy harvesting and transfer, nanotechnologies, material, space, medical and construction… »
In this article we’re going to write about a hotel that got its LEED Platinum certification while being large and luxurious. ITC Royal Gardenia characterizes the splendors of nature and is a tribute to the 3rd largest city of India – Bengaluru. The concept of the hotel is inspired by the magnificent gardens of this… »
