very nice paper on adaptation of cells to microgravity

You need to avoid posting these types of links in the title as it is not managed well by plugins connected to our diigo account. Try to go to the source next time, and get rid of useless url codes.

Thin-film solar cells could be made far more efficient with the addition of bundles of carbon nanotubes.

Lionel could you have a closer look at this one?

Scientists in Germany are using artificial nerve cells to classify different types of data. These silicon 'neurons' could recognize handwritten numbers, or distinguish plant species based on their flowers.

Rings of excited atoms that harness a quantum effect to absorb light at an enhanced rate could be used in future technologies such as highly sensitive cameras, solar cells and systems for optical power transmission.

finally a consumer application for fuel cells?

after the rat brain cells... it was logical !

Investigating the composition and behavior of microscale environments, including those within living cells, could become easier and more precise with nanoelectrodes being developed at the University of Illinois.

The title says it all - now we just need to make nerve cells and establish electric circuits.

Ultrathin films of highly monodispersed luminescent Si nanoparticles are directly integrated on polycrystalline Si solar cells. The authors monitor the open-circuit voltage and the short circuit current. The results demonstrate that films of 1 nm blue lu

Carbon nanotubes could replace expensive platinum catalysts and help finally make fuel cells economical

The cells that attacking my feet has been finally identified!

Nanoparticles disguised as red blood cells could be used to deliver anti-cancer drugs directly to a tumour.

Nature paper showing a new photo-bioelectrochemical cell with a new photon-driven biocatalytic fuel cell method achieving electrical power generation from solar energy.

do you have the pdf?

Faced with a navigational challenge, neural networks spontaneously evolved units resembling the grid cells that help living animals find their way.

any clue how? "With the peel-and-stick process, we integrated hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) TFSCs on paper, plastics, cell phone and building windows while maintaining the original 7.5% efficiency. The new peel-and-stick process enables further reduction of the cost and weight for TFSCs and endows TFSCs with flexibility and attachability for broader application areas. We believe that the peel-and-stick process can be applied to thin film electronics as well"

Scientists from the Nano-Science Center at the Niels Bohr Institut, Denmark and the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland, have shown that a single nanowire can concentrate the sunlight up to 15 times of the normal sun light intensity. The results are surprising and the potential for developing a new type of highly efficient solar cells is great.

It was about time...

Mwahahaha...!

Commercial project for wearable solar cells by 2015 ...
