Nanotechnology :: Gold particles part 3
An experiment in nanotechnology to observe how nano particles change. Observing Part A and part B of the Gold particles experiment. Part A: Synthesising gold nanoparticles Method: Pour 50mL of gold hydrogen tetrachloride (HAuCl4 .3H2O) solution in a 150mL flask. Place a magnetic stirrer in the flask and place a watch glass on top of the flask (to ensure that no evaporation occurs – the concentration of the solution must remain constant) Place the flask with the gold solution on the hot plate, adjust the dials to allow the solution to heat (not vigorously) Heat until boiling, turn heat off, and leave the stirrer on. Part B: Testing for the presense of Gold Nanoparticles. Method: Shine a laser beam through each of the solutions. The presence of a colloidal suspension can be detected by the reflection of a laser beam from the particles. Record your observations in the table provided.

Cognitive Computing: Neuroscience, Supercomputing, Nanotechnology (part 1 of 4)
The ultimate goal of the DARPA SyNAPSE project is to build brain-like cognitive computing chips that scale to human cortex by moving beyond the von Neumann architecture and become the brains behind IBM’s Smarter Planet vision. The project leverages nanotechnology, supercomputing, and neuroscience and is a collaboration of four universities (Cornell, Columbia, Wisconsin-Madison, and UC Merced) and five IBM sites (Almaden, Yorktown, EFK, BTV, and IRL). Dr. Dharmendra S. Modha is founding manager of the Cognitive Computing group at IBM’s Almaden Research Center. Currently, he is the Principal Investigator for DARPA SyNAPSE team of IBM Research – Almaden, IBM Research – Watson, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Cornell University, Columbia University, and University of California at Merced.

The power of molecular manufacturing — Nanotechnology — is huge. It has the potential to slow, stop, prevent or reverse aging. Yet, some fear that exploration in Nanotechnology may backfire and become a means of mass destruction. Is there a way to tap into the power of Nanotechnology without opening diabolical Pandora’s Box? Moderator: Morton Kondracke. Guests: Robert G. Best, University of South Carolina Mike Treder, Center for Responsible Nanotechnology.
