From the invisible to the visible world and back


The objective of the nanoparticles is innovate and make different and new instrument, technics and materials that we can use it in different areas…  like conversion the energy, save information and the administration of different kind of medicaments. So..nanoparticles are so important in the area that we are studying because in my case, in the future I will use different materials that  are composite by nanoparticles.
In this opportunity I choose talk about the nanotubes of carbon. I learned about them today! Jaja and I think that it´s so interesting!! In my career I choose them because I think that in the future they will be so useful in the mesoscopic electronic.
The principal characteristics are their high conductivity and the use of nanotubes are given by their thermal and mechanical properties   
The real and potential applications of nanotubes are growing impressively. Nanotube of carbon is a perfect semiconductor so it is possible that carbon nanotubes made the same function that silicon made in electronic circuits in due course, but now on a molecular scale, where other semiconductors stop working . In the future nanotubes of carbon could be use it to attack and destroy individual cancer cells. This is one of the most advantage that they may have for the people.
They are use for conductor polymers, highly tenacious ceramics, electromagnetic shielding and components for membranes and solar cells.
One of the disadvantages is that they could be toxics, depending on their concentration and the method of producing them.

    I'd heard about nanotubes of carbon, but I never thought they could have applications in chemistry and pharmacy :O

What organ of the human body is amazing to you?

Image
For me…is amazing the heart, but.. Why?  Everyday, the heart can pump 7500 liters of blood  :o It´s incredible how one organ of the human body can keep us alive. The heart is responsible for getting blood to the rest of the organs of the body, how? with a constant pump. It´s located in the middle of the lungs, right to the center of the chest, on the left of the breastbone. The heart is like the size of the fist of our hand, in an adult the size is 12 cm (long), 8-9 cm (width) and 6 cm (thickness) approximately. However..it´s depend of the person. It´s so important take care with our heart because is the principal organ that keep us alive. We can help to keep it healthy with a balanced diet (eating healthy), practicing some deports, not being sedentary people, not being smoking people, take care with cholesterol, glucose, pressure sleep 8 hours daily and some different facts that can alter it.  Some illnesses that can alter its normal functioning are:  cardiovascula...

The most enjoyable subject...

Image
If I have to decide for one subject … I think that the decision it´s a balance of how much did you like it and the teacher(s) or people that teach you, because of the motivation. (It´s important for me). For all this reasons, my favourite subject is “General Chemistry I”. It´s a subject of the first semester, in my class we are 82, we have 3 teachers, but for different reason only one teach us. For my good luck, I have a good teacher (Patricio Cancino) and good auxiliaries (Vicho and Sofia)! In classes we learn about general chemistry, we learn about gasses, reactions, solutions, and different important things, it´s a theoretical class. The modality of the classes is: the teacher teach us the theoretical things, then he gives us some exercises, we have some minutes for solve them and finally he teaches us how to do it, but thinking about the chemical phenomenon, not just based on the mathematical calculation, I think that this is so important when we are forming to be profess...

English Language Challenges

Image
Did you know that in the world, exists 7000 languages?... Incredible! Nowadays, speak another languages can open you a lot of doors! One of the most important (for me) is English and I´m going to talk to you about different things about   this language, related with me. I remember that at school, I have a love-hate relationship with English L jaja because I love it but at the same time, it complicated me. The situation has no changed at University, because I like English classes but I have lot complications when I have to express any idea. Anyway, my experience learning English at University was good! In the beginning, I have some difficult with some verbal tenses but now, I think that I´m improving. I remember that last semester, I was afraid about writing a blog every class, because I never did it before. Personality, in English class, I always prefer to write before speaking but..I didn´t have English classes since...2 years ago? so I felt that I had forgotten man...
