Major infectious diseases, like COVID-19, often go undetected until they spread. Spotting the problem in a community isn’t easy, in part because infectious disease detection, which is the foundation for surveillance and contact tracing, can take hours, if not days. Compounding the problem is that traditional detection assays are designed …

Nanotechnology enhanced weapons and Nanoweapons are growing Global Security Threat with potential to cause human extinction
Nanotechnologies involve designing and producing objects or structures at a very small scale, on the level of 100 nanometres (100 millionth of a millimetre) or less. It allows humans to play with the building blocks of the universe, exploiting the laws of quantum mechanics to construct materials with unimaginable precision – …

Phase change materials are substances that absorb and release thermal energy (heat) during the process of melting and freezing at defined temperatures . They are called “phase change” materials because they transition from one of the two fundamental states of matter – solid and liquid – to the other during …
