Military Uses of Nanotechnology: Perspectives and Concerns

Applications of laser diagnostics to thermal power plants and engines

The demands for lowering the burdens on the environment will continue to grow steadily. It is important to monitor controlling factors in order to improve the operation of industrial thermal systems. In engines, exhaust gas temperature and concentration distributions are important factors in nitrogen oxides (NOx), total hydrocarbon (THC) and particulate matter (PM) emissions. Coal and fly ash c...

Technology refers to the application of knowledge for human benefits. Nanotechnology has been defined as ‘the understanding and control of matter at dimensions of roughly 1 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel applications’[1]. Nanotechnology is unique in the sense that it enables us to observe, synthesize and manipulate things at the nanometer scale[2]. The word nano is derived ...
