Making the solid-state device is just like making a sandwich just with ultra high-tech semiconductor tools used to slice
and stack the atomic-sized layers of meats and cheeses like the butcher shop's block.
First they made a sandwich composed of two metal electrodes separated by a two-nanometer thick insulating layer (a single nanometer is 10000 times smaller than a human hair) made by using a semiconductor technology called atomic layer deposition.
Then a hole is cut through the sandwich: DNA bases inside the hole are read as they pass the gap between the metal layers.
However the U s. Food and Drug Administration has approved now the use of iron-oxide nanoparticles in humans.
It turns out that previous tests indicating that some nanoparticles can damage our DNA may have been skewed by inadvertent light exposure in the lab. Nanoparticles made of titanium dioxide are a common ingredient in paint

#Aligned carbon nanotube/graphene sandwiches By in situ nitrogen doping and structural hybridization of carbon nanotubes (CNTS) and graphene via a two-step chemical vapor deposition (CVD) scientists have fabricated nitrogen-doped aligned carbon nanotube/graphene (N-ACNT/G) sandwiches
with three-dimensional (3d) electron transfer pathways interconnected ion diffusion channels and enhanced interfacial affinity and activity.
The as-fabricated N-ACNT/G sandwiches described in the journal Advanced Materials on Sep 17 2014 demonstrated high-rate performances in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries.
After catalyst removal alternative aligned CNTS and graphene were connected vertically to each other in long-range periodicity thereby forming a sandwich-like structure.
The remarkable cycling capacity and rate capability can be attributed to the novel structural and chemical characteristics of the N-ACNT/G sandwiches Prof.
It is expected highly that the N-ACNT/G sandwiches hold various potential applications in the area of nanocomposite energy storage environmental protection electronic device as well as healthcare because of their robust hierarchical structure 3d electron transfer

#Watch A 3-D Printer Make A Pizza#This summer we heard about a 3-D printer for food developed with NASA funding
The printer#served up a pie made with dough#ketchup and cream cheese(?.The printer is still in its earliest stages so the creators haven't quite perfected the process.
Instead of making a classic slice they're showing off the proper levels of pizza viscosity with similar ingredients:
ketchup for sauce cream cheese for a fine ricotta. The idea's more or less the same though:
the printer lays down a layer of dough from a stock of simple non-perishable ingredients then layers the sauce (ketchup) and cheese (cream cheese) on top.
A heated surface bakes the pizza.##You can see why NASA would be interested in the idea:
send up a printer instead of boxes of food and you save space plus you give the astronauts a home-cooked meal.
Here you can see the printer laying down the cheese layer and one of the printer technicians being directed to add more pressure.

@Auroria The sugar comment has no place here. If this was a dietary article or one on diabetes or obesity it would fit but not here.
#Opcannabisi agree sugar salt and other chemicals added to our foods needs to be focused on
However the culprit was excess sugar and sodium intake combined with obesity; from a life time of eating processed foods!
More proof that the war on drugs is a wasteful fallacy. Absolute BS. I don't know where they got these statistics but
Auroria I agree that sugar is a drug and that is extremely unhealthy (I avoid it).
You would die without sugar. Truth be told your body will start to make its own sugar
if you don't supply it (gluconeogenesis). Perhaps you should do a tad more research than just popular press--do some reading of primary sources.
I agree very much about sugar. People concentrate on illegal drugs when legal drugs kill many times more.
That could lead to less food and higher food prices. Hopefully the problem gets fully diagnosed

The food goes into oxygen-free tanks with particular bacteria species inside that thrive without oxygen.
Those bacteria break down the food in many steps; during the last step, bacteria produce primarily carbon dioxide and methane gas.
Anaerobic digestion is considered also a less favored way of dealing with excess food. From an environmental standpoint, it's better to chop food up into deli salad,
give it away to charities, or send it to animal feed. But if there's some food you can't avoid throwing away,
anaerobic digestion is a great to take care of it. P. S. P. S. Popular Science Postscript:

#Tofu handling robot picks up soft, delicate food with ease Lands Work a manufacturer of tofu-making machinery has developed a robot that can pick up very soft foods such as tofu
which way the tofu is facing and how big it is using a camera. The images are analyzed by a computer and the robot works out
which way to orient the tofu. Once it picks the tofu up it then puts it in a package.
A feature of this robot is the hand which can gently carry very soft fragile things without damaging them.
If tofu is carried quickly it breaks. So the robot moves tofu quite slowly shifting only 1200 to 1500 pieces per hour.
But firmer items such as fried tofu can be carried at a rate of 2500 per hour.?
We are using mainly firm tofu in our demonstration but it can also handle soft tofu.
Wee also included some soft tofu here so this system can even handle delicate things like that.?
Wee only just developed this system. People have asked about using it for seafood eggs and meat and we think it could be used for all kinds of foods.
The robot itself is a very general-purpose model. So for example if we reduce production volume on one line we could use the robot on another line just by changing its program.
That the best thing about using robots. n
