Damascus Steel - Nanotechnology and Sword Making

Cat: Favorites, Technology No Comment

By K. Kris Hirst
The word ‘nanotechnology’ might seem a little odd to be applied to a technology that is clearly several centuries old. After all, a ‘nanometer’ is something that means one billionth part of meter, something no one could have measured until very recently. But in this sense, nanotechnology refers to the purposeful (and accidental) inclusion of very very tiny amounts of materials to create chemical reactions at the quantum level. Nanotechnology played a role in the mixing of Maya blue, that amazing color in Maya murals from 8th century America. Stained glass windows from the European Renaissance, colored glasses in Bronze Age Egypt, and violins from the 18th century master Stradivari all benefited from the creative use of tiny amounts of inclusions of foreign matter placed into created objects, creating quantum level qualitative changes in the product. Nanotechnology then is alchemy in its most pure form.

新年到来,心情却更加急躁。2007年倒霉的一塌糊涂,家庭事业两头空!期盼着2008——北京的2008、中国的人2008,以及那五个姓“福”的娃娃们能给我带来一点点福气、一点点好运、一点点转变、一点点新希望,让我也来个帝国反击战,绝地回归!Welcome Back Commander!活了这么多年,今天真的觉得这个世界很黄、很暴力,感到自己无法控制自己和周围的环境。
