Saving the planet?
Nanotechnology can be used to reduce your carbon footprint and save money on your energy bills.
According to the U.K.’s Energy Saving Trust, around half of the energy loss in a typical home is through the walls and attic. Conventional insulating materials like fiberglass work by trapping air to slow down heat loss. But these materials [...]
Advanced Nanotechnology Advanced
Advanced Nanotechnology Advanced Nanotechnology, sometimes also called molecular manufacturing, is a term given to the concept of engineering nanosystems (nanoscale machines) operating on a molecular scale. It is based on manufactured products are made from atoms. The properties of these products depend on how those atoms are arranged. For example, if relocated graphite atoms (composed [...]
The Lesson of the Lily Pad
The Lesson of the Lily Pad
I was recently asked by a leading nanotechnology consultant, Rocky Rawstern, if I could say anything on nanotechnology to a wider audience but I had to keep it under 250 words, what would I say. Here was my response:
To those who don’t believe nanotechnology will change the world in the [...]
Revolutionizing Science even in the Beauty Industry
There is no other science more complicated than nanotechnology except of course perhaps quantum physics or rocket science. Thus, we question: why would makers of beauty products care to inform their customers about such science? Actually, they would not care to do so. Every customer wants products to be presented in a simply and understandable [...]
