The field of nanotechnology and microtechnology in Germany is an investment in the economic trend

Companies are optimistic about the second half of the year and await the arrival of 2011. More than 100 business representatives expressed their current status in a survey by IVAM Microtechnology Network.

After a year and a half of lost revenue and declines in the number of orders and production expectations for 2010 were very limited at the beginning of the year. Now however, some executives have expressed surprise at how well the business has gone in the first half of 2010. Individual companies have reported an increase in sales of up to 15%. In some companies in nanotechnology and microtechnology, sales and new orders are back to the levels of the first half of 2008 or even exceeded. ..Continue reading..

Many pathogens can cause infections in the bloodstream (sepsis) and the easiest cure is to remove as soon as the patient’s blood factors that cause the disease. There are several methods, such as dialysis and filtration and plasma exchange, which are used widely and routinely for this purpose. ..Continue reading..

Nanotechnology could make men immortal in 2040

Ray Kurzweil, author of the books The Age of Spiritual Machines and The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology, says that the nanobots will end soon with cancer, backup stored in our memory and slow down aging.

In 30 or 40 years, we will have microscopic machines that travel through our bodies, repairing the cells and organs, to eliminate disease. Nanotechnology is also used to store our memories and personalities. ..Continue reading..

Many communities in the U.S. and Europe has begun to integrate intelligent transportation systems (ITS) in the infrastructure of transportation systems to help monitor and manage traffic and reduce congestion. These systems also provide transportation professionals the tools necessary to collect, analyze and archive the data used to evaluate the performance of these systems. An important part of these STIs are movement sensors that provide real time information services and applications such as traffic lights control traffic counters toll roads or onboard navigation systems. The accuracy and reliability of movement sensors significantly affect the usefulness of the ITS. ..Continue reading..

RUSSIA’s promises to invest billions in public funds to develop its nanotechnology sector are being received with caution by leading British technology companies.

President Dmitry Medvedev said his country will invest 318 000 million rubles in the development of infrastructure in nanotechnology to increase exports of products built in Russia with the use of this technology.
“We want to lead the process and have the intellectual, organizational skills and funding,” he said.

However, according to Oxford Instruments, a nanotechnology company in UK, money may still be available later. ..Continue reading..
