However, with some of the expected <a href="http://www.chaosreview.com/category/nanotech/">benefits of nanotechnology</a>, eventually there will be a large need for skilled workers.<br /><br />Universities are already starting to prepare people for the future, and I'll do my best to post about any programs I read or hear about. The first program I've come across is at the famed Johns Hopkins University. They have a <a href="http://www.nanotech-now.com/news.cgi?story_id=16253">Master's program with a nanotechnology option</a> of 10 courses, designed for the Engineering and Applied Science Programs for Professionals (EPP).<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31836208-115424227765697896?l=nanotechnology-journal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>blogslingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09263250561416943757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31836208.post-1154153590542700002006-07-28T23:12:00.000-07:002006-07-28T23:15:10.506-07:00PC Mag has a great article called "ten technologies you've never heard of." Here's a summary of four of those technologies.<br /><br />(1) <a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1988191,00.asp">Silicon brain</a> could be used for artificial intelligence. European researchers have already created neuro-chips which fuse brain cells and microprocessors. Primary applications could be prosthetic devices or organic computers.<br /><br />(2) <a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1988192,00.asp">Bacterial photography</a> uses a GM (Genetically Modified) form of E coli bacteria to build a biosensor that responds to light. The result is monochromatic images of 100 megapixels per square inch - incredibly high-resolution. A combination of sensors could even be created to find tumors and deliver a drug.<br /><br />(3) <a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1988193,00.asp">Tritium batteries</a> last for years and are based on the decay of the hydrogen isotope tritium, which has a half-life of 12.3 years. That means such a battery could keep functioning for decades.<br /><br />(4) <a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1988194,00.asp">Viral fashion</a> consists of fashion accessories that can change patterns. New patterns will be available and shareable wirelessly. Get a head start on the technology now, and the be the Gucci of tomorrow.<br /><br />Read more about nanotechnology and other fringe tech and science research at <a href="http://www.chaosreview.com/">Chaos Review</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31836208-115415359054270000?l=nanotechnology-journal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>blogslingerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09263250561416943757noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31836208.post-1154151013126169002006-07-28T22:26:00.000-07:002006-07-28T22:31:23.170-07:00This site will be a lense to resources about nanotechnology, offering summaries and commentary of news in the area of nanotechnology and related tech.<br /><br />Nanotechnology refers to technology built on the atomic level, measured in nanometers.
