Desalination, the nanorobot version

Futuristic water purification? An Israeli company is developing a new desalination method in which nano-robots will clean seawater of problematic salts; This, without removing from them substances that are important for our health
"Sliding and climbing between electrical polarizations": The periodic crystal structure contains a pair of atoms at regular intervals in each horizontal layer. Each additional layer can be slid to the right or left in the horizontal plane to place a blue atom exactly above a red atom or vice versa, thereby bouncing electrons with an electrical charge up or down between the layers. Unlike in polarized crystals known so far, the electric potential in the new system changes in a constant and well-defined value between each step. It is possible to climb in a controlled manner between all the different options, that is, it is possible to switch between the information units in the same crystal in contrast to a pair of modes in previous technologies.

The slow are the fastest: a new method for separating molecules and biological particles in tiny samples

  • One response
Differences in the cellular environment (acidity and metabolism) affect the solubility of metal oxides, in the present example copper oxide (CuO). The researchers hypothesized that plating the oxide with iron atoms could provide a therapeutic window to fight cancer. This means a release rate that is fast enough to target the cancer cells, but one that slows down significantly in healthy cells.
