Nano-structures materials for Energy Direct Conversion and Fuel Breeding
The new developments in nano-structures and high-energy superconductors open the road for better nuclear energy. A new family of new nuclear fuels as well as energy harvesting blankets to be used as active shielding in [...]
Building Green with Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology, the manipulation of matter at the molecular scale, is opening new possibilities in green building through products like solar energy collecting paints, nanogel high-insulating translucent panels, and heat-absorbing windows. Even more dramatic breakthroughs are [...]
Heat is the Enemy of Energy Efficiency
The flow of heat has been a major challenge to engineers for centuries. A new nanotech material, developed by TAG technologies, can block the flow of heat from one direction only. This presentation will present [...]
Self-Assembled Soft Nanomaterials from Renewable Resources
The self-assembly of low molecular weight building blocks into nanoscale molecular objects has recently attracted considerable interest in terms of the bottom-up fabrication of nanomaterials. The building blocks currently used in supramolecular chemistry are synthesized [...]
