I have an unresearched opinion that nanotech will be the source of our major technological advances in the next generation or two. That’s why you’ll occasionally see nanotech related items here.
Slashdot has an entry entitled “Nanotech Gone Awry.” It has a link to a Chemical and Engineering news report about a recall of a nanotech based product used to make glass and ceramic surfaces repel dirt and water. The product is suspected to have caused illness in at least 77 people in Germany after they used the product.
The Slashdot entry also references a Washington Post story about the unknown dangers facing employees of nanotech firms and a CDC strategic plan on nanotech.
Here is a photo of my son’s first nano wires. They are 1/10,000 the size of one strand of hair. It’s an amazing science. With two kids is engineering…Chemical and Polymers I have had to learn alot about nanotech. Please feel free to use his image at any time.
