SiO2 Nano powder: Properties & Applications
Silicon dioxide (SiO2) is a
compound of silicon and oxygen, commonly called silica and the elements are
linked by the covalent bond. It is one of the components of the sand and can be
found naturally in Quartz. It is usually white or colorless and is not soluble
in water or ethanol. By associating with minerals, it forms the silicate
family. Silicon dioxide (SiO2) has several industrial applications such
as an additive in the food industry. Its function is to act as an
anti-binder, a

Applications of Fullerenes
The fullerenes are constituted by a network formed by 12
pentagons and 20 hexagons, closing the sphere. Each carbon of a fullerene is sp
hybridized in the form of a sigma bond (simple bond) with three other carbon
atoms, subtracting one electron from each carbon. The most important property of Fullerenes is its high
symmetry. In this one, there are 120 symmetry operations, such as axis
rotations or reflections in the plane. This makes the C60 molecule the most
symmetrical molecule since it

Facts about Holmium
Holmium is a
metalloid of the lanthanide group and like many other rare earth metals that we
have already covered in previous posts, holmium has a characteristic bright silver
color. It is a fairly soft and considerably malleable metal. It is stable in
dry air and at room temperature, although it easily loses stability when making
contact with humidity and very high temperatures. It is believed that as with
other similar rare earth metals, holmium micron
powder does not have a high
degre

Antibacterial Nanopowder: Types, Content, Price, Uses
The development
of Antibacterial Nanopowder has been approached by different areas of science
as a possible solution to a wide variety of pathologies (meningitis,
encephalitis, bacteremia and febrile gastroenteritis) associated with bacterial
colonization on surfaces of medical devices, hospital garments and even at the
level of infrastructure. Although human mortality from nosocomial infections
has decreased over the last century, this is a public health problem that
requires more attent

Military Applications of Graphene
Nanotechnology, apart from its
multiple applications, is beginning to be used for the benefit of the arms
industry. This raises the possibility of terribly effective and devastating new
weapons. Thanks to graphene and nanotechnology, rifles of all kinds can be
manufactured. Integrated computers would allow the remote control of any weapon
as well as a more compact assisted operation would facilitate better robotics.
In addition, these materials would be manufactured with a minimum amount o
