Depending on several site factors, this produces anywhere from 30 to 400 kilowatts of electricity. Treated wastewater exits the reactor with 80 to 90 percent of pollutants removed,

First the cell absorbs sunlight which excites electrons in the active layer of the cell.
A similar effect can be realized at a much smaller scale by using arrays of metallic nanostructures since light of certain wavelengths excites collective oscillations of free electrons known as plasmon resonances in such structures.

Nanoporous metals offer an increased number of available sites for the adsorption of analytes a highly desirable feature for sensors.
Once injected, the material locks into place at the site of the injury and rapidly decreases the time it takes for blood to clot in some instances by a whopping 77 percent,

Blood rushes to the site of the injury and within minutes the flow stops as a plug forms at the site.
The tissue beneath and around the plug works to knit itself back together and eventually the plug disappears.

#What exactly is Google's'cancer nanodetector'?'Last week US tech giants Google made a splash in the media announcing plans to develop new'disease-detecting magnetic nanoparticles'.
'This was welcomed almost universally after all trying to detect diseases earlier is something that's a focus of many research organisations including ours.
what Google are actually planning apart from getting a lot of coverage in the media he says.
But then they're Google he says. They do things differently. The way traditional science works is to map out all the possible risks demonstrate you've accounted for them
Google are doing the opposite they're saying'we want to get to here we'll worry about the details later'.
Google have been similarly vague about the precise form of nanotechnology they aim to use Graham points out:
This isn't all about Google says Graham. It's worth pointing out that Google are far from being the only show in town.
There are loads of different research groups looking into what is called collectively'biosensing'continuous monitoring of
it seems according to this article in Wired that Gambhir originally advised Google about nanotechnology. What are the current challenges facing nanodetectors?
So for Google's biomonitor they need to work out how to keep the particles in the body
This is something Google really seem to have ducked in their announcement. We don't need to dwell on it too much
but there's been a lot in the press in the last year about who has access to Google's data and under
what circumstances says Graham referring to reports of Government agencies accessing user data from tech companies like Google and Facebook.
Professor Graham's'take-home'message is that it's a mistake to see Google as the only organisation focusing on nanotechnology to detect disease it's a vibrant active field with incredible potential but still in its early days.

#Google vs The DMV: How To Test A Self-Driving Car In May 2012 Google's self-driving car underwent a classic American teenage ritual.
It took a driving test at a DMV. The car passed but apparently not without a little lobbying from its parent.
As state officials have monitored the robot car's mileage on public roads Google has lobbied for the car to get different tests
and to report different accident figures than the DMV wants a new series of reports finds.
Turning to the government let Harris sidestep Google's secretive PR machine as he told the Knight Science Journalism Tracker which recently collected his stories.
It's also a look at Google's lobbying the extent of which is maybe unsurprising for a private company but still interesting.
That's where you can see what situations the Google car is good at and in
For the Guardian Harris wrote about how Google has asked regulators to allow the results of computerized driving simulations#to stand in for tests on driving tracks
For Quartz Harris reported on Google's lobbying not to have to report#how often its cars turn over the controls to their human drivers

#while handing almost allâ the responsibility for Google products to Sundar Pichai a rising star.
 The robotics group will now be led by James Kuffner who has been at the company since 2009 and has worked on self-driving cars a Google spokesman said.
Regarding James Kuffner who replaces Rubinâ The Wall street journal saidandy Rubin former leader of Google#s Android mobile businessâ oversaw a series of robotics acquisitions last year
so his departure comes at a poor time for the company. Â That puts pressure on Kuffner to bring together disparate Google properties like Boston Dynamics and Schaft.#
#Robotics is still a difficult technology to pull off well I think moreso than many or all tech fields#said Michael Wagner a senior commercialization specialist with the National Robotics Engineering Center at Carnegie mellon University.#
#James has the expertise to navigate traps others with less experience may not expect. So I don t think this is a setback at all.#
#Sundar Pichai becomes Google Product Chief. The NY Times said of the promotion: Sundar Pichai is to oversee every major Google product except Youtube.
The move arguably makes Mr. Pichai the second-most powerful person at the company and is intended to give Mr. Page more time to focus on more futuristic projects according to a person with knowledge of the situation.
