The more the debate over what precisely nanotechnology is goes on, the more inclined I am to think that it’s something of an illusion. Sure, nanoscale science is real. And there are clearly technologies that exploit this. But are they nanotechnologies, or are they simply clever uses of science, technology and engineering across multiple length scales to do something different? ... Read More »

Nanotechnology research could lead to smaller electronic components
Electronic components that are virtually invisible to the naked eye could potentially be used in many appliances and gadgets. This is the conclusion of a study by McGill University, which was carried out to measure how nano-particles could be used in tandem with solar technology, the Montreal Gazette reports. Researchers discovered that the microscopic particles were able to create voltages ... Read More »
