A team of Queensland University of Technology (QUT) found that the stained glass windows painted with gold nanoparticles, purify the air when illuminated by sunlight. Zhu Huai Yong, an associate professor in the Faculty of Physical and Chemical Sciences, QUT, said that glaziers in medieval forges were the first nanotechnologists who produced colors with gold nanoparticles of different sizes.
Zhu, numerous church windows across Europe were decorated with colored glass with gold nanoparticles. “For centuries, people appreciated the beautiful works of art, and long life of color, but not realizing that those works are also, in modern language, photocatalytic air purifier with nanostructured gold catalyst.”

Fuel cells are currently very under consideration for the consumer market applications, such as automobiles. However, even after several decades, they have not yet drilled, except for space applications. The main reason for this is the price of manufacture, if you want a battery sufficiently effective to be used to replace oil in cars.

Scientists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Harvard University have developed tools to form complex structures from short DNA molecules . They detail in the journal Science From 07 August 2009 how they have “bent” DNA molecules to form structures in three dimensions to the way of origami. The biophysicist Hendrik Dietz, a professor at the Technical University of Munich, said that his goal was to see if it was possible to program the DNA that organized itself into structures of nanometer with angles and curves predefined.

The stars are dying wish to know: they also explode in a gamma ray burst, the most powerful explosions in the universe, source of light so intense that it is detectable billions of light years . Yet some celestial bodies are more discreet and disappear leaving no light escape, or so small: only gamma rays emanating from it can to apprehend their detonation.

Specialists in A. N. Frumkin Institute of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry (Russian Academy of Sciences) have first shown that the radiolysis at high temperature provides a quality liquid fuel from sawdust wood. Scientists announce that the liquid obtained from birch sawdust meets the requirements of the fractional composition of engine fuel and octane level is not less than 90.
