 | | Screaming Photons, Director's Cut | | Students from the Alexander Dawson School in Boulder, Colorado explain the workings of a “dark detector” coated with the one of the world's darkest materials, a forest of carbon nanotubes that reflects almost no light across the visible and part of the infrared spectrum. Built at NIST’s Boulder Laboratories by John Lehman and his collaborators in the NIST Optoelectronics Divison, the dark detector promises to advance many technologies such as optical communications, laser-based manufacturing, the conversion of solar energy into electricity, and the sensitivity of industrial and satellite-borne sensors.

 | | George's 1970 salt dissolving lecture: Director's cut | | In this original footage from 1970 George shows that even then it was possible to dissolve salt in water and study the process on the nanoscale. 40 years on George junior (otherwise known as Jiri) is a PhD student studying the same process at the London Centre for Nanotechnology at University College London. | | | Added: 2 years ago, in category: Current Contest - What is Nano?

 | | George's 1970 supercooled water lecture | | Our 1970s science expert George demonstrates the phenomenon of supercooling. In this experiment, we have cooled water to a temperature below zero degrees Celcius, but it has not frozen. Disturbing the system (i.e. banging the bottle it on the table), facilitates the thermodynamic phase transition from liquid to solid, which once started, occurs very rapidly, as is demonstrated by George. | | | Added: 2 years ago, in category: Current Contest - What is Nano?
