Programming Nanotechnology: Learning from Nature
For many decades, nanotechnology has been developed with cooperation from researchers in several fields of studies including physics, chemistry, biology, material science, engineering, and computer science. In this chapter, we explore the nanotechnology development community and identify the needs and opportunities of computer science research in nanotechnology. In particular we look at methods...
متن کاملBiofouling: lessons from nature.
Biofouling is generally undesirable for many applications. An overview of the medical, marine and industrial fields susceptible to fouling is presented. Two types of fouling include biofouling from organism colonization and inorganic fouling from non-living particles. Nature offers many solutions to control fouling through various physical and chemical control mechanisms. Examples include low d...
متن کاملNanotechnology research: applications in nutritional sciences.
The tantalizing potential of nanotechnology is to fabricate and combine nanoscale approaches and building blocks to make useful tools and, ultimately, interventions for medical science, including nutritional science, at the scale of approximately 1-100 nm. In the past few years, tools and techniques that facilitate studies and interventions in the nanoscale range have become widely available an...
متن کاملNanotechnology, Enhancement, and Human Nature
Is nanotechnology-based human enhancement morally permissible? One reason to question such enhancement stems from a concern for preserving our species. It is harder than one might think, however, to explain what could be wrong with altering our own species. One possibility is to turn to the environmental ethics literature. Perhaps some of the arguments for preserving other species can be applie...
متن کاملThe Evaluation of Museum Multimedia Applications: Lessons from Research
In museums and exhibitions, the use of interactive multimedia applications continues to spread, and now that the technological problems of the early experimental years have largely been solved, curators and educators are focusing more on the audience’s needs and the quality of the interactive experience (Bearman, 1995). Although the museum community is becoming increasingly aware of the need to...
