De Britse informaticus Andy Adamatzky maakte een Nederland-vormige plaat bedekt met het voedingsmiddel agar en legde havervlokken op de locaties van 21 grote steden. Vervolgens plaatste hij een kolonie van de slijmzwam Physarum polycephalum op de plek van Amsterdam, en keek hij toe hoe die slijmdraden vormde richting de overige steden. Dat zou een bijzonder asfaltzuinig wegennet moeten opleveren. Meer informatie: www.kijk.nl

Charla impartida por el Dr. José Luis Menéndez Rio (Científico titular del CINN-CSIC) en la que se abordan los principios que hacen que al reducir la materia a escala nanométrica aparezcan fenómenos novedosos en los materiales. Jornada de Puertas Abiertas del CINN. 15/11/2011
The Nishiyama Group is studying the synthesis of natural organic compounds using electrical energy. The aim is to synthesize compounds that are useful in medicine and other fields, and to enable environmentally friendly organic synthesis. Q: Our aim is to actually synthesize biologically active organic compounds that occur in nature. There are a wide variety of such compounds, ranging from quite complex to very simple. In particular, a feature of our research is that were using electrochemistry, or electrolysis, for environmentally friendly organic synthesis. Chemical synthesis using electrochemistry and electrolysis can be used to induce only the reactions needed, without producing toxic substances. Consequently, it is currently topical as a means of environmentally friendly chemical synthesis. The Nishiyama Group is breaking new ground internationally, through original organic electrolysis reactions using phenols. QOne current environmental problem is waste products that are organic halogen compounds. As these contain halogens such as chlorine or bromine, they are toxic, and they dont naturally decompose. But electrolysis can be used to remove the halogens.A feature of our research is that we synthesize organic compounds based on phenols. Benzene is easy to polymerize. But if you combine just two benzene rings,please clarify part about ether, or link benzene rings directly, then those compounds can be used, for example, to synthesize a chain of amino acids, which is ...
Beckman Institute researchers discuss their work on creating materials that can heal themselves, restore electrical conductivity, and help the environment. This video highlights some of the self-healing materials being created by Scott White, Nancy Sottos, and Jeff Moore at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center has a team of scientists testing micro and nano technology to use on spacecraft. The goal is to reduce the reflection off the surface of the instruments so that the data does not get polluted by the scattered light. The carbon nanotubes that the team grows have proven to be 10 times better than the NASA Z306 paint, currently used on spacecraft instruments. The nanotubes are also very robust and can be grown on different materials. The team is really close to getting the carbon nanotubes approved for spaceflight.
