The quest to harness a broader spectrum of sunlight’s energy to produce electricity has taken a radically new turn, with the proposal of a “solar energy funnel” that takes advantage of materials under...
It’s official - the 2013 ISEC Space Elevator Conference will be held on August 23rd, 24th and 25th, 2013 (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) at the Museum of Flight in Seattle, Washington.
This is the same place as the 2012 Conference was held at and it is a truly fine venue for an event such as ours.
Planning is already underway [...]
By fabricating graphene structures atop nanometer-scale "steps" etched into silicon carbide, researchers have for the first time created a substantial electronic bandgap in the material suitable for...
Researchers at ETH Zürich, EPF Lausanne and at the University of Fribourg have evidenced a basic general mechanism describing how filamentous proteins assemble into ribbon like structures, the...
Biomolecular motors can be found everywhere in nature from the rotary motor enzyme ATP synthase to kinesin and dynein motor proteins. In recent decades, scientists have been able to produce a wealth of synthetic molecular machines such as switches, shuttles, gears, wheels and artificial muscles.

A couple of weekends ago, the second annual European Space Elevator Competition (EUSPEC) was held. ISEC’s own Martin Lades attended this event and has been able to send me some preliminary pictures and information. Winter has arrived early in Europe this year and Martin reports that the first climb was held in the snow! Martin reports:
“The issue [...]
Graphene is considered as the ultimate membrane material because it is atomically flat and extremely tough, but at the same time it can be very flexible. Solubilising graphene layers will be an important process for future applications. One route to do this has been to use graphite intercalation compounds which have been shown to be [...]
Congratulations to the poster prize winners at the 2012 AIChE Annual Meeting, Emerging Areas in Polymer Science and Engineering.
The two winners were Saber Naserifar (University of Southern California) and Xiao Wang (University of Akron). Both winners won a years online subscription to Soft Matter.
Saber Naserifar – “Simulations of the Pyrolysis of Hydridopolycarbosilane (HPCS) Polymer Using [...]
One possible pathway from current technology to advanced nanotechnology that will comprise atomically precise manufacturing implemented by atomically precise machinery is through adaptation and extension of the complex molecular machine systems evolved by biology. Synthetic biology, which engineers new biological systems and function not evolved in nature, is an intermediate stage along this path. An [...]
