Nanotechnology is all around us – not just in our computers and iPods, but also in our food! Nanotechnology is everywhere and you might be surprised to find out that it isn’t new! Goofy foods like mayonnaise are made with nanotechnology.
Windows! they let us look out on the world from our room and see all sorts of stuff. But could windows do more? Researchers have used nanotechnology to create efficient solar collectors which can collect energy from the sun. They make tiny silicon nanoparticles that ... Read More...
Can nanotechnology help to protect soldiers in combat? Maybe some day. Scientists are working on something that they call liquid armor. In the old days, knights would walk around with really heavy clunky armor. That was OK, but it made it hard to do much ... Read More...
In the past couple of years there has been a lot of talk about nanotechnology and stain resistant pants. Yes they exist, a real product of nanotechnology. One of the most popular nanotechnological processes for making stain-resistant fabric was developed by a company called Nanotex. They ... Read More...
Nanotechnology and the products that you can make with it are all around us. The government and private companies have spent a lot of money to develop nanotechnology. But is it safe? The answer is, we just don’t know for sure. But lots of scientists ... Read More...
You might think from reading Nanooze that nanotechnology is something that was just invented. Not really. The idea of making things at the nanometer scale is not new, in fact people have been making nanoscale stuff for a long time. Even before they knew that ... Read More...
Nanotechnology is all about making materials that take advantage of their unique properties at the nanometer scale. So what’s up with that? Carbon nanotubes are tiny tubes of just carbon that are about two nanometers wide. But carbon nanotubes are fifty-times stronger ... Read More...
