The Korea Science and Technology together with the Korea University has made a research that uncovered the effects of the nano-particles in killing bacteria and germs. However, their research showed that the nano-silver particles have microbe particles that are known to damage plants and animal cells that have been exposed to these particles.Right after the research done, an alarm was raised to many washer companies and one of them was the Samsung Electronics which has been very active in their promotion of the Silver Nano Health System in washers and their air conditioners.Gu Man-bok, professor in the bioscience department of Korea University stated that their evaluation of the effects of the silver nano-particles on different organisms as well as the environment is now on going. They further stated that the experiments the department has been doing on rice fishes have shown that the toxic on these organisms has been high in concentration.Gu further stated that his laboratory has joined hand in hand with the Ministry of Environment to do a research about the silver nano-particles effect on different forms of life and this was considered as .. more»

LASER TECHNOLOGY ? THE FUTURE FRONTIER OF BUSINESS

May 04, 2011 :: Posted by - maureen :: Category - Department
The Laser (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) technology which was discovered in 1960 has started to make an impact across a diversified industries and business fields. One of the main reasons for this impact is the precision and accuracy in results which have resulted in laser technology being used in medical, aerospace, energy drilling activities, biotechnology and semiconductor technology. But its immediate impact was felt in the area of life sciences. Laser technology was used in advanced areas like neurological implants, cell and tissue reconstruction and DNA analysis as well. In the past the most active user of this technology was the US Defence Department of Research. In the industrial world it made a profound impact as the technology has become a cost effective method for micro-fabrication, precision engineering and any form of scaling up or down of a particular process. Laser micromachining has brought a new dimension to manufacturing of items with exact dimensions. Laser Technology - The Economies of ScaleAn area where the technology has been seen as irreplaceable is manufacturing items in small numbers, which could then later be scaled up .. more»
