How small can a robot be? Bionaut Labs, a Los Angeles-based startup, has developed robots at the microscopic scale to treat brain disorders. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Health agencies in Canada have banned the sale and distribution of masks containing graphene (a carbon nanomaterial) over health concerns.Article:https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/canada-bans-masks-containing-graphene-101617428707042-am
I've been seeing a lot of news and talk about the semiconductor "chip shortage" that's been going on since last year. Here, I explain what the chip shortage is, what caused it, and how it will change the future of US manufacturing.Host: Ari Es
What’s the big deal with nanotech? Where is it used? Is it worth investing in nanotech at all? All that and more covered in this episode!Host: Ari Esters (me)To learn even more, visit nanojunkie.com or follow NanoJunkie on Facebook and LinkedIn
I’m power-walking on a windy day, so pardon the audio quality. In this episode, I share the plan I’ve put into motion for NanoJunkie: a new website (nanojunkie.com), weekly blogs, and interviews with companies and researchers, to name a few. S
After a year and a half of silence, I'm finally continuing the NanoJunkie platform. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
05-11-2019: NanoJunkie episodes will be paused until I get a new laptop. May take a few weeks or even a couple months.. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
In Episode 7 of Nanotech News, I talk about recent developments in efficient light-based circuits for use in quantum technology, spiral nanobots that improve drug delivery in the body, and flexible circuits made using 3D printing and nanotechno
05-04-2019: I plan on doing weekly check-ins starting today. Today, I was so out of it that I didn't even know what day it is (I say it's May 6th, but it was actually May 4th). And I have failed BOTH my dry month and dryish month as of this we
04-27-2019: I finally got a new microphone for audio recording, which seems to work pretty well! Listen to this silky smooth audio which entails me recalling how busy work has gotten in just a week, complaining about how much time I've spent o
I apologize in advance for this audio. I was in a noise-heavy room, so the end result after editing sounds kinda distorted. This episode of Nanotech News includes three recent developments: (1) moving and levitating objects with light, (2) fusi
What if humans had the same camouflage ability as chameleons? Can we make suits that can shift colors and patterns and allow humans to blend in with any surface? How can we build materials that controllably change color in real time? Actually,
Will we ever be technologically advanced enough to build Tony Stark's nanotechnology suit from Avengers: Infinity War? Or to make clothing and surfaces that change color like a chameleon? Or to have self-assembling furniture composed of microro
04-12-2019: Recording from my car after work. I recorded this audio from my phone while on the go, so the audio quality is worse than usual. Nevertheless, I wanted to make sure I checked in, and I briefly talk about my ideas for the future of
I finally got to record an episode about nanobots, which is a HOT topic in nanotechnology. Many news outlets have covered nanobots in recent years, particularly because of their potential to target and destroy tumors in the body. But...what exa
03-26-2019: Finally doing another life update. I've been trying to get over this lasting fatigue I've been feeling, which I briefly talk about in this episode. Also, I kind of went off the rails on this episode, since I recorded this right aft
In this episode of Nanotech News, I cover a bit about batteries and the potential for better energy storage devices using two-dimensional (2D) materials. I'm still kinda sad that I didn't get to take any electrochemistry or battery-related cour
I have not forgotten about this podcast! In fact, I have a quick announcement: the next Nanotech News episode will be coming out within a couple days! In this episode, I will discuss the potential for the next generation of battery technology b
03-16-2019: UPCOMING NAME CHANGE. I will be changing the name of my podcast from "Random Rambles" to "Nanojunkie". Do not be confused. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
03-13-2019: I finally made a life update as opposed to doing more nanotech episodes. I got a bit swept away in my excitement for those topics. Anyway, the title of this episode basically summarizes this update. Not really, but it'll all make s
In this episode of Nanotech News, I will be discussing a new paper that may lead to a new form of data storage by controlled phase transitions in atoms or groups of atoms. There are many new and innovative ways of storing bits of informations,
To provide some context, this was the first day of me using the free Audacity software to record my podcast episodes. For some reason, the audio playback would have crackling sounds in it about 1.5 to 2 minutes into the audio track. So, I had t
03-09-2019: In this episode, I briefly talk about a book I just started called Tales from Both Sides of the Brain: A Life in Neuroscience by Michael S. Gazzaniga. I'm really excited about this one. I follow this up with short snippets of other
In this installment of the nanotech series, I discuss a new development that I've been hearing a lot about recently in nanotech circles: holey graphene. Why would you want to purposefully make holes in graphene? Doesn't that lower its quality a
02-15-2019: Today, I’m covering an article about a graphene-based innovation developed by researchers at the University of Manchester. This new nanotechnology has the potential to turn plain old ocean water into freshwater, providing potential
