Fact Check: Governments are using nanotechnology to create mosquitoes and spread disease. | The Paradise News – The Paradise News

Genetically modified mosquitoes have been created to prevent diseases like dengue, chikungunya, and malaria; not to spread or develop them.

A claim on social media states that governments are using nanotechnology to create mosquitoes and spread disease. The claim is a part of a broader conspiracy theory, which states that viruses such as Zika have been created through the genetic modification (GM) of mosquitoes and that GM mosquitoes have been created for the purposes of surveillance and population control.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), genetically modified mosquitoes are produced to control Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes known more commonly as yellow fever mosquitoes which spread viruses including dengue, Zika, and chikungunya. GM mosquitoes created in a lab have two types of genes: one that keeps the female mosquito offspring from surviving to adulthood and another that makes them identifiable in the dark. The report states that these modified mosquitoes do not stop an ongoing disease outbreak; however, they are meant to help prevent disease outbreaks. The CDC adds that the GM mosquitoes do not pose a risk to people, animals, or the environment.

According to the National Library of Medicine, arboviruses, which cause diseases like dengue, and chikungunya, are challenging to control due to various factors, such as the lack of effective vaccines and antiviral drugs. Some of these, including the Aedes species, are resistant to insecticides. Therefore, it is necessary to resort to approaches that can detect and control the spread of arboviruses. In this regard, the importance of nanobiotechnology has been gradually realized as an emerging technology of the future due to exceptional new benefits, NCBI adds.

According to the World Health Organization, the number of reported dengue cases has increased tenfold in the last twenty years, from 505,430 cases in 2000 to over 2.4 million in 2010 and 5.2 million in 2019. Reported deaths between 2000 and 2015 increased from 960 to 4032, mainly affecting the younger age group.

The main reasoning and logic behind creating genetically modified mosquitoes is to control diseases such as dengue and malaria, and prevent deaths due to these diseases. Therefore, the claim that GM mosquitoes are designed to create disease is baseless.

Emerging technologies – The News International

The rapid emergence of new technologies is transforming the world around us in almost magical ways. They range from strange new materials that make objects invisible to the naked eye when they are coated by those materials, to new species of plants and animals that can be created in the lab through a process of gene editing.

Devices have been developed that restore partial eyesight to the blind through images that can be transferred through the nervous system of the tongue to the brain. Anti-ageing compounds are being developed that slow down the process of ageing. It is thought that children being born today will have average lives of 120 years plus. Graphene has been developed which is 200 times stronger than steel and it is finding many applications.

Artificial intelligence is developing at a very rapid pace and finding its way in a myriad applications, ranging from city traffic management to drug discovery, from stock exchange appraisals to unravelling health and environmental issues. There is particular interest in the applications of artificial intelligence in areas like neural networking.

Some of these new technologies are finding their way into modern warfare. Swarms of intelligent drones that can interact together and attack enemy tanks in a highly organized and orchestrated manner are changing the dynamics of war and making the tank and the foot soldier progressively redundant. The Turkish Bayraktar TB2 drone, a combat drone with a wingspan of 12 meters and an armament of four laser-guided bombs, along with others supplied from the West have caused havoc to Russian tanks and other heavy ground weaponry. Small portable switchblade drones are also being successfully employed in Ukraine. These are comfortably transported in a tube from which they can be launched directly. Once launched, their wings snap out and the propulsion systems are activated.

Another rapidly emerging field is that of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology emerged serendipitously when it was discovered that remarkable changes of properties in materials occur when their sizes are reduced to between one nanometer (nm) and 100 nm. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter about the same proportion to a meter, as a marble is to the earth. For instance, if we pulverize gold particles and bring them to the nano-meter size, then the colour of gold changes to blue-green, red or purple, depending on the particle size

Nanotechnology applications range across all science fields such as biomedical, chemical, mechanics, electronics, computer sciences and material science. Nanoscale sensors and devices are providing cost-effective continuous monitoring of the structural integrity and performance of bridges, tunnels etc. They are also being employed to support an enhanced transportation infrastructure to help drivers maintain lane position, avoid collisions, adjust travel routes to avoid congestion.

Nanotechnology is also finding a multitude of applications in water purification, medicine, cosmetics, electronics, new materials and many other fields. In the field of nano-electronics alone, the market size is estimated to be around $4 trillion and is growing rapidly. Similarly bullet-proof jackets have been developed based on bullet proof paper made from nano-cellulose these jackets are light, absorbent and bullet proof! The global nanotechnology market size is estimated to be at about $1.80 billion and it is projected to reach $33.63 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 36.4 percent from 2021 to 2030.

Another exciting area of rapid development is that of energy. New and more efficient solar cells are being developed. Special paints have been developed with built-in solar cells so that they can produce electricity when sunlight falls on them. Advances on new more efficient batteries to drive electric cars are another area of hot research.

These and other amazing technologies are rapidly transforming our world, and the businesses that can produce and make use of them are flourishing. It is interesting that computer systems based on biological models was the fastest-growing technology among the new and emerging technologies with 67 percent growth in terms of new patents filed between 2016 and 2020. Google, Microsoft and Intel are leaders in the area. Major increases are also being seen in the new patents filed in the fields of machine learning, quantum computing, autonomous technology and 3D printing.

Excellent beginnings in some of these fields have been made in Pakistan with the establishment of the Pak Austrian University of Applied Science and Engineering (Pak Austrian Fachhochschule) in Haripur, Hazara and a similar university is now under construction in Sialkot. Several centers for Artificial Intelligence have been established including the excellent National Center for Artificial Intelligence in NUST, Islamabad, as well as in NED Engineering University, UET Lahore and other universities.

The Sino-Pak Center for Artificial Intelligence has also begun operations in the Pak Austrian University in Haripur in collaboration with top universities in China and Austria. Pakistans first National Center for Nanotechnology has been established at the International Center for Chemical and Biological Sciences at Karachi University.

The Pak Austrian University of Applied Science and Engineering will be particularly focusing on the training of Pakistani students in such new and emerging technologies. It is headed by an eminent Pakistani scientist Prof Mohammed Mujahid, and has Prof Nasser Ali Khan leading the development effort as project director. It happens to be the first university in the world with two key features. First, it has two academic sections, a Fachhochschule section providing high level technical training at the BSc and MSc levels, and a postgraduate PhD postdoctoral level research university section. Second, each department of the is godfathered by a reputable Austrian or Chinese University that will be closely involved in quality assurance, faculty development, technicians training and ensuring the quality of examinations. A major priority of this university is on high-technology product development and so its centre piece is its technology park where vigorous development of various commercial products are under way in close collaboration with industry. Another similar university is under development in Sialkot.

Nanotechnology Utilized to Explore Sustainability in Construction Coatings – AZoNano

According to a research article published in the journalConstruction Materials, a group of researchers conducted a sustainability analysis related to the prevention of the development of fungus in building structures using nanotechnology.

Study:Sustainability Analysis of Interior Coatings for the Prevention of Fungal Development. Image Credit:bogdanhoda/Shutterstock.com

The oldest mortars discovered in Galilee, in the modern-day state of Israel, date back over 10,000 years and use binders like aerial lime and gypsum.

The cisterns of Jerusalem constructed during the Phoenician era employed hydraulic lime mortars as a binder.

Portland cement was the predominant binder in Portugal around the turn of the century.

Due to its shorter curing time and ease of usage, it has replaced hydraulic lime and hydrated lime and storage, as well as improved mechanical performance.

On the other hand, Portland cement performs poorly because of its high rigidity and breaking susceptibility when applied to aged buildings. Due to their high level of degradation, restoring part or all of the coatings in old structures is required.

Hydraulic lime has recently been identified as a good binder for generating high-grade coatings for old buildings as a result of various investigations.

Nanomaterials are playing an increasingly essential role in civil engineering and a wide range of scientific fields.

Nanotechnology is regarded as one of the most promising future technologies. Materials' quantum mechanical characteristics at the nanoscale (less than 100 nanometers)are crucial for the creation of new products and applications.

TiO2is one of the most investigated nanomaterials by the scientific and industrial communities.

Nanofibers containing silver and copper are excellent for preventing mold in buildings and can be used instead of traditional approaches, such as spraying biocides and paints.

Photocatalytic coatings using silver and silica nanoparticles have been proposed as a method to reduce microorganism contamination in buildings.

Fungi can be found in a variety of places, including inside structures.

Alternaria, Cladosporium, and Epicoccum are the most commonly encountered genera in communities in moderate-to-humid climate zones. The development of fungi on the surface, in cracks, and inside the pores of walls and ceilings are substantially to blame for the degradation in the quality of both building surfaces and the environment.

Seven mortars with various dosages of nano-TiO2 and micro granulated cork additives were investigated and compared to a plain mortar in this study.

The researchers revealed that mortar has the potential to harm the environment, particularly in urban areas.

Its lime content contributes to CO2 emissions. Despite the limited data, they deduced that because these mortars have antifungal qualities, they will last longer.

As a result, they will have a far lesser environmental impact than a simple mortar. Furthermore, they discovered that A2 (mortar with 4% TiO2) is the mortar with the best antifungal performance. In addition, the sample had a strong environmental performance.

B1 (mortar with 2% cork) mortar achieves the finest environmental results. They confirmed that A2 and B1 mortars perform well and can be used in construction by analyzing the mechanical results.

The teamconcluded from this research that Nano- and micro-additive mortars containing TiO2 and cork work better in the environment than currently employed mortars.
