The Issue with Artificial Intelligence (AI)
The issue of AI has been in the headlines of major newspapers with all kinds of doom projections. Reference 1 from earlier this year has 11 areas that [..]
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 [..]
