Color Festival !

Category | construction

March 5th 2009 - Between the green kryptonite and the sporty orange, the BNB guys are offering us a real festival! By the way, the kryptonite is ONLY a phosphorescent core immersed in a flourescent nanoparticule liquid!

Talking about chemistry = the technical name for these nano-helpers is QUANTUM DOTS. Ring a bell?

From 3D computer-aided design to …. real life

February 23rd 2008- BNB did not slack up either! Most of the movment components have been machined - next stepts = prototyping.

The trials on micro-manufacturing, the mysterious glass elements are promising and the luminescent nanoparticules are terrific!
