Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

The U.S. defense base is on the verge of a crisis—losing the design engineering and industrial capacity to affordably produce the cutting-edge military systems that once gave the American military an unassailable advantage. The reason for this is simple: The free market works. When there is no competitive market for goods and services, the industries that produce them dry up ... Read More »

Did you hear the one about the movie star in the nanotechnology suit? It’s not a joke. Well, actually it is. The movie star is wild man Jim Carrey. And his nano-suit? He announced in an MTV promo video that for hosting the MTV Awards “I’m wearing a suit that I’ve had made. It’s the latest in nanotechnology, so I’m ... Read More »

Federal agencies to study guidelines on nanomaterials Federal regulators announced Thursday two actions that will aim to clarify the role that extremely small materials can play in items such as cosmetics and food production and packaging. The Environmental Protection Agency said that it will seek to determine whether nanomaterials in pesticide products can “cause unreasonable adverse effects on the environment ... Read More »

Nanofilters can remove viruses from milk and nanomaterials could soon block cholesterol in canola oil from entering our bloodstream. They can alter the texture of ice cream. Tiny particles in chicken feed can latch onto Campylobacter jejuni and keep the bacteria from getting into our chicken nuggets. Tiny silica spheres could be used to detect the presence of the harmful ... Read More »
