Now your complaining that you finally got a woman to call you? Everyone here keeps talking about how terrible robocalls are. For most of you/us, its the only female who would leave a message on your answering machine.
Have you ever seen the smoke come out of a diesel truck!, Its black. That black color is not CO2, it is larger carbon chains. Black carbon soot. Its full of carbon black particles that are quite large and will integrate into the soil.
This entire slashdot thread is full of retards, that keep obsessing about CO2 sequestering. Thats NOT what the article is talking about, and it never even mentions it.

How are you going to get a space based solar panel array up, if you cant even keep your website up?
They haven't shown that the cells can actually differentiate into any cell type. They have just shown that they express the biological markers that make it look like a pluipotent stem cell. Meaning that expresses a few surface markers that they tested. That dosen't mean that it can turn into any type of stem cell. I wouldn't hold my breathe.

In undergrad we spent a few weeks attempting to reproduce Dr. Taleyarkhan work on sonic cavitation experiments in deuterated acetone. While there is much controversy surrounding the this type of fusion, it is an interesting and simple experiment, but hard to get reliable results. http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/Bubble_fusion
For students it is be exciting to be apart of the human quest for fusion power. And is useful as a teaching tool for all methods of fusion. Taking part in a controversial research project can be very stimulating.
The experiment can be attempted using a pyrex 100mL flask and placed piezoelectric speakers at key locations. The flask is filled with deuterated acetone and the speakers are modulated at different frequencies until cavitation and sonoluminescence is achieved. Their are several types of neutron detectors that can be used. Some of them cheaper than others but less sensitive.
Anyways, just an idea. Alternatively, you can also build a fusor, which is a bit more involved but with the right setup could also work for a short term project, would require you todo some pre-building. http://www.fusor.net/
-alot cheaper than ITER or Lawrence Livermore laser confinement...
But seriously, it is ridiculous for these reporters to make such outlandish claims about nanotechnology. Its been 15 years since nanoparticle drug delivery was tested in cells, and we are just beginning phase 1 clinical trials in germany and US on magnetic nanoparticles. Regardless of the FDA implications of nanobots, the actual impact will be very small in the next 20 years, perhaps it could report of blood pressure or flow rate using RFID, but its not going to have robotic arms that will wield a sword and evicerate a cancer cell.
At the end of the blog Roland asked why they didnt use multiple sizes of silicon nanoparticles, this was my long winded reply:
I am a graduate student working on the synthesis of silicon nanoparticles for solar cells and other applications. While silicon nanoparticles have been syntheszed for over 20 years, and their are many ways of synthesizing them, it is still very difficult to control the size of the particles. Unlike CdSe based quantum dots where the size of the particles is determined by how long your let the reaction run for, 1 min for blue 30 min for red, and various time lengths for other colors, silicon nanoparticles are more complex.
Silicon nanopariticles while they are still quantum dots, since the energy levels are somewhat quantized emit very differently as well. Silicon is an indirect band gap semiconductor, however the blue emitting silicon nanoparticles emit light with a direct band gap transisiton, where as they red emitting silicon nanoparticles are controlled by more surface effects and emit in a low energy indirect band gap transition which is slower and allows for more energy loss in other modes.
Anyways, what it comes down to, is it is difficult to make various sizes of silicon nanoparticles. I would also like to add that this technique is not very promissing for several reasons, they epense and other problems with traditional silicon etched solar cells still exist. Cost, lack of flexibility, low effeciency, heavy, glass... This method does not take full advantage of multiple exciton generation which was just proved for silicon nanoparticles in ACS journal of Nano Letters this week. PbSe quamtum dots have shown to generate 7 exciton for just one photon, which in theory could be converted to 7 electrons from 1 photon...someday. But 2.6 excitons from silicon nanoparticles is still pretty good. Especially when I have a way to get the excitons into free electrons And silicon is a non-toxic cheaper alternative to the PbSe quantum dots.
