Since its discovery by mid of 19th century, Steel Reinforced Concrete has become the most multipurpose building material of all time allowing us to build large and tall building structures. Large buildings were also built long time ago during Roman Empire, but Romans used a particular volcanic ash in their cement without reinforcements and they... Continue Reading →
For its entire existence human species always needed and will forever need 2 essential things for survival: Food and Shelter. The first humans were hunter-gatherers, their only source of food was obtained through hunting and fishing. Then humans learned that food can also be produced, so they became farmers.

The technology of CabonNanoTubes is still in early stage. We are not yet ready to fully benefit of this unique material at large scale. Some little progress has been made since professor Iijima created the first Cabon Nanotubes in 1991, but obviously we must do and learn more. It's only when Carbon Nanotubes are grouped...

Carbon is a very familiar element. It’s in everything we eat, sleep on and step over. It is the element that holds our DNA together. It forms the carbohydrates, proteins and lipids that we depend on to build and fuel our bodies. It’s the basis of life as we know it. It’s ubiquity in our... Continue Reading →
Carbon is a marvel of nature. This element is absolutely impressive. First of all Carbon is the main reason why life on Earth exist. And second because carbon is capable of forming the most compounds , way much more than all the other elements in Periodic Table combined. Not only that but Carbon is even... Continue Reading →
The huge success of carbon fiber composite in the second half of the 20th century, inspired engineers to imagine its use on the grandest possible scale, hence they started to ask: is this material strong enough to achieve a longstanding dream, that of building an elevator into space? A Space Elevator promises to replace the... Continue Reading →
Helium-3 (3He) isotope is extremely rare on Earth. Most of our supply comes indirectly from tritium (3H)decay in nuclear stockpiles, producing only modest quantities. Likewise a minor amount of 4He isotope is collected as a by-product of big companies tapping natural gas. For most people this is not a topic of much interest, so why... Continue Reading →
