Seen that? - World's hardest material created in nanolab
It seems that every month there's a new "world's hardest material" coming out the nanotech labs. Now the record has been broken again by researchers at israel's Bar-Ilan University and the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, who have created a new nanomaterial forty times harder than diamond. more @ jpost.com [...] Read More


Graphene: the Strongest Material at Nanotechbuzz

Photo courtesy of iStockphoto, Evgeny Terentev Graphene is the strongest known material. Graphene was discovered in 2005 and was recently tested and found to be the strongest material known to man. Mechanical engineering professors at Columbia University tested graphene's strength at the atomic level by measuring the force that it took to break it. They created indents in graphene using a tiny diamond probe. Graphene may have a promising future [...] Read More


Architectural applications of nanotechnology raise new issues at Nanotechbuzz

Today I gave a talk on Nanotechnology Applications in Architecture at Arc-US 2006: America's Leading Architects Forum in Los Angeles, and I can tell you architects are extremely excited about nanomaterials. I discussed a variety of building materials already available like bacteria-killing coatings as well as materials working their way from the lab to the marketplace, such as carbon structures. The question and answer session was invigorating too, as architects [...] Read More


Material Handler Robot! at Supplychainer

I read in SC Digest that a new company called Seegrid, has introduced a new material handling robot which can be a real hit in the market: A new company called Seegrid announced a new line of what it calls "Industrial Mobile Robots," which are really a new form of AGV that may find a real place in distribution. What makes the technology different is a new approach to movement [...] Read More


Design Material Sourcing Systems Early at Supplychainer

I was attending a valuable lecture some days age about a current academic research regarding material sourcing system design in the product development processes. The idea was really great because many companies having problems regarding this issue because they have not thought about that in the early phases of product development. It's always these small things like packaging, supplier delivery, etc. that will cause big problems like lack of flexibility [...] Read More
