Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

Cambridge scientists have discovered a way of mimicking the stunningly bright and beautiful colours found on the wings of tropical butterflies. The findings could have important applications in the security printing industry, helping to make bank notes and credit cards harder to forge. The striking iridescent colours displayed on beetles, butterflies and other insects have long fascinated both physicists and ... Read More »

Carbon nanotubes, a new 1D carbon material, were discovered around ten years ago.This new molecular form of carbon exhibits a series of fundamentally new and unexpected physical, mechanical and chemical properties and brought nanotubes into the position of one of the most promising tools in future nanotechnology. Nanotubes can have implications for the fabrication of molecule-based electronic devices, nanotransistors and ... Read More »

Nanotechnology can make foods tastier, give them a longer shelf life or add more nutrients but worries that it could damage DNA and pose health risks remain. Imagine a tasteless, odourless drink that, once bombarded with microwaves, could taste like coke, orange juice or ginger beer according to the preference of the customer. Several years ago, that was an example ... Read More »
