Images in NanoScience/Technology

This essay explores what it means to see and how contemporary technology is changing the tools and the methods of the way we perceive. The widespread desire for effective scientific visualization along with increasing sensitivity to popular attention has created a reckless culture of image manipulation. Scientists, illustrators, and artists take broad license in how they manipulate images to th...

Nano-technology and nano-toxicology

Rapid developments in nano-technology are likely to confer significant benefits on mankind. But, as with perhaps all new technologies, these benefits are likely to be accompanied by risks, perhaps by new risks. Nano-toxicology is developing in parallel with nano-technology and seeks to define the hazards and risks associated with nano-materials: only when risks have been identified they can be ...

Nano Technology

We present a new approach using genetic algorithms, neural networks, and nano robotics concepts applied to the problem of control design for nanoassembly automation and its application in medicine. As a practical approach to validate the proposed design, we have elaborated and simulated a virtual Environment focused on control automation for nano robotics teams that exhibit collective behavior....
