From the invisible to the visible world and back

Molecular nanotechnology is a technology based on the ability to build structures to complex, atomic specifications by means of mechanosynthesis, the desire of the molecular nanotechnology would be to balance molecular reactions in positionally-controlled locations.
But what is the mechanosynthesis? Today I would like to talk about it, and the diamond mechanosynthesis (DMS) and diamondoid.
The mechanosynthesis is defined as the chemical synthesis in wich uses mechanical constraints for the determination of chemical outcomes. Diamond mechanosynthesis (DMS) is the most known type of mechanosynthesis. It is also called molecular positional fabrication, is the synthesizing of diamonds for removing the hydrogen atoms and transferring carbon atoms into the diamond nucleus. In other words, using precisely applied mechanical forces to build diamondoid.


The diamondoid shares some structures and properties of the diamond. It is a strong material, but also light-weight. In the future, they will eventually be able to build strong and lighter-weight such as cars and planes.

they are like mini diamonds.

Scientists are still working on producing diamondoid, but they are big expectations about it! It also could be used as indicators of natural oil cracking. Additionally, the material has mechanical properties similar to carbon nanotubes.
For the mechanosynthesis, great technological advancement could appear and new natural components could be found. But, there are risks too, like how would diamondoid react to human secretion.
However, he truth is that I just learned about this today and I don't everything clear, but is such an interesting topic that I think, we should look forward! It would probably be a really important material for the future of chemistry, geochemistry, and engineering.
Well, I chose an interesting topic that I didn't know just because it looked interesting. In the future, I want to learn more about it!

My favourite serie

Today I will talk about my favourite serie, well... It's an anime that I really really like: Hetalia! Is a japanese webcomic, later adapted as a manga and an anime series, by Hidekaz Himaruya.The name is a portmanteau combining hetare, that means useless or pathetic and Italy. (make your own conclusions) The animation was directed Bob Shirohata and animated by Studio Deen. It is a about a main presentation of political and historic events as well as more general cultural comparasions. The characters are personifications of countries, regions and micronations, they personalities are based on positive and negatives cultural stereotypes. The main storyline's events occur during World War II, so the main characters are divided between Axis forces (Italy, Japan and Germany) and Allied forces (America, United Kingdom, France, China and Russia), but there are like 60 more countries (characters) and there are also personifications of historical figures, like Jeanne d'Arc a

My autobiography

Hello! My name is Valentina Javiera Ramos Olguín. I was born in April seventh of 2000, in Santiago, Chile and I´m still living here. I live with my mother, my little sister and my big brother (Yes, I´m the middle one, and that´s awful). My father died when I was 13 years old and I used to have a little dog, but she died last year. Well, no more sad information about my life.  I completed my high school studies at Liceo Carmela Carvajal de Prat last year. Now I am studying Chemistry at the University of Chile, I enjoy the classes and they aren´t difficult, but talking to new people makes me feel really nervous and sad.  Whatever, since I was born I´ve lived in the same house in Maipu. I don´t have big hobbies. In my free time I like drawing, reading mangas, watching music videos and listening to music, I can enjoy every kind of music, but this last time I´m obsessed with Kpop. The music videos are awesome and they always have different concepts.  I think that´s all that I can say

My blogging experience

Hello! Today I will talk about my blogging experience! Well, the truth is that I didn't think about this before, is like I just write about the topic and that's all. Whatever, in general this experience has been fun because is something new (for me) that's good for getting better writting skills. I'm not sure If my english or my witting skills are better, but at least I have learnt a little bit more. How I said before, It's a funny experience but I think there are too much blogs, I would've liked to do more oral classes and activities. I know writting is important, but If I go to an english-speaking country, I will talk with people... and we didn't talk or listen too much (I know It's imposible to learn that much in 2 months, but at least you can feel more confident and get a little bit better), and the other thing that I would've like to change is that some topics are so boring, like I wont talk to people about an expert on my field (at least not
