The USDA’s National Organic Standards Board is voting on whether nanotechnology should be banned from use in Organic products. The Board’s initial recommendation is to keep nanotech out of organic products entirely. Scientists use nanotechnology to manipulate atomic and molecular structures on the nanoscale level to maximize corporate profits. The properties of Nan particles are [...]

I’ll admit it. I’m an unabashed fan of the First Lady. I read every article about the White House organic garden and I go to Michele’s farmers’ market every Thursday. I’m a fan and I’m a little jealous, too. She’s managed to educate DC school children and provide farm fresh food to state dinners. [...]
The “killer app” of current nanotechnology is the carbon nanotube, which could revolutionize circuit boards and other technologies. But these nanoscopic tubes also cause a new kind of industrial disease that could scar your lungs and give you cancer.

It’s not the first time the greatest minds in science have turned their attention to the problem. But if what we’re hearing is true, it could certainly be the last – and time for a well-deserved cuppa. For a team of experts in ‘fluid dynamics’ believe they have solved the issue of the dribbling teapot.

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have conducted a basic chemistry experiment in what is perhaps the world’s smallest test tube, measuring a thousandth the diameter of a human hair.
The nano-scale test tube is so small that a high-power electron microscope was required to see the experiment.
