Technology Feasibility/Validation

Nanotechnology:
-----------------------
* How * Nanotechnology Works - "Nanotechnology deals with materials and machines on an incredibly tiny scale..."





Timelines, time shifts, alternate dimensions:
----------------------------------------------------
* Particle Accelerator May Reveal Shape Of Alternate Dimensions - "Researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of California-Berkeley say that the telltale signatures left by a new class of particles could distinguish between possible shapes of the extra spatial dimensions predicted by string theory..."






* Einstein, Relativity and the Space-time Continuum - "Einstein realized that space and time are relative -- an object in motion actually experiences time at a slower rate than one at rest..."



Hydrolysis via electricity using membrane:
------------------------------------------------------------

* Membrane potential - "Differences in concentration of ions on opposite sides of a cellular membrane produce a voltage difference called the membrane potential. The largest contributions usually come from sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl–) ions which have high concentrations in the extracellular region...."

* Flexible piezo-electric membrane - "A piezo-electric flexible membrane is formed by treating a perfluorinated membrane in order to produce a membrane having an electrical resistance greater than 1×109 ohms. The resultant piezo-electric membrane may be used as an ultrasound transducer."

* Technical and Economic Aspects of Using Membrane Reactors - "We performed a consistent comparison of state-of-the-art and advanced electricity and hydrogen production options from coal and natural gas with CO2 capture..."

* General priniciples of MFCs - "A microbial fuel cell (MFC) converts chemical energy, available in a bio-convertible substrate, directly into electricity...."



* Jet Fuel From Seawater - "Dorner and his colleagues want to use the carbon dioxide dissolved in seawater (140 times the amount found in the atmosphere) and hydrogen stripped from water as the base materials..."


3D Printing / Tissue Engineering :
---------------------------------------------



* Inkjet Printers Inspire Scientists to Make Skin - "...three-dimensional printer combining donor cells, biofriendly gel and other materials to build cartilage... The 3-D printer was shown at work, building a prototype of an ear during a half-hour demonstration..."

* Spray-On Skin Cells - "A new device can spray a burn victim's own skin cells onto damaged skin and dramatically reduce how much time it takes for burn patient to recover..."

* Biological Legos - "Ali Khademhosseini, assistant professor of HST, and former HST postdoctoral associate Javier Gomez Fernandez developed a process nicknamed "micromasonry," to build human tissues cell-by-cell..."





Deuterium :
---------------
* Conceptual Cold Fusion Battery - "Deuterium atoms diffuse into the electrode material from the heavy water used in the electrolyte. The deuterium atoms “pile up” in the defect region and form a very dense state that in turn undergoes nuclear reactions..."




Applications for recognition, detection and recording human emotional and health conditions :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



* Pet Face Recognition Software - video demonstrating application that recognizes faces of pets.

* Tech to detect emotions



Advances in Solar Panels:
---------------------------

* Pyrite - Could Become The Solar Cell Manufacturers’ New Best Friend

* Flexible Solar Cells - Use 99 % Less Material With Same Efficiency

* Nanowire Used for Solar Cell - "Javey and his team made their 3D arrays of semiconductor nanopillars by using molds they made in 2.5 millimeter-thick aluminum foil..."
