Another year of interesting developments
Energy from Fusion – As reported in Phys.Org [Ref. 1] a breakthrough announcement in fusion came from Lawrence Livermore National Labs. For the first time an experiment in [..]
A Look at Technology in 2022 – Nanomaterials, MEMS/NEMS, Metamaterials
As 2022 begins, predicting (guessing) where technology will go is almost always wrong. This is an opportunity to highlight some of the developments that that appear possible to [..]
Ultra-pure material
We already reported on the development of two-dimensional nano-sheet transistors and other two-dimensional materials. One of the challenges that has been previously mentioned is the fact that we [..]
Experiments & Results
Previously, we have covered the challenges of experiments and the need for reproducibility. Recently, there has been an additional occurrence that merits discussion. There has been a study [..]
Developments as the Year ends
As technology moves more into the nano realm, interesting items are turning up. Researchers at the University of Manchester, UK have found quasiparticles in a lattice of boron [..]
Below nano gets more interesting
Last blog mentioned metallic hydrogen at a very small level. As the computational power increases, we are able to examine (theoretically at least) the behavior of various materials. [..]
Interesting things
A couple thoughts on Hydrogen. This might be old news to some, but two Harvard scientists have created metallic hydrogen [Ref. 1] by employing extreme pressures. This material [..]
Scientific Integrity and COVID-19
I’ve written about validating scientific findings previously. With the current COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation, there have been numerous published claims of various “facts”, which are based on models. It [..]
Move over “Nano”, “Pico” is coming.
Nothing remains on top (or at the bottom) forever. “Pico” is three orders of magnitude smaller than “nano”. A rule-of-thumb is that to be able to manufacture or [..]
The Challenges of Reproducible Research
Twice last year, April and November, this blog addressed fake science. That challenge has not gone away based on recent news articles. But if one assumes the research [..]
