Nanotechnology and Manufacturing

Four years ago, words like “impossible,” “futuristic,” and “science fiction” filled discussions about nanotechnology. Since the announcement of the US National Nanotechnology Initiative in 2000, though, worldwide investment in nano research and development has raced forward, with $8 billion invested in 2004 alone. That kind of growth has leaders at major companies sitting up and [...]

Nanotechnology with Carbon Nanotubes

Columns, pipes, bearings and springs are a few common ways that engineers have made use of the geometric shape known as a ‘cylinder.’ The utility of this shape is apparent in architecture, plumbing and mechanical devices. Carbon nanotubes are molecular cylinders that are rapidly extending our ability to fabricate nanoscale devices by providing molecular probes, [...]

Nanotechnology developments

anotechnology is a relatively new field of research and scientific development. It has been speculated about for decades and the wonders and advantages of nanotechnology have been extolled by many. But not all.
The scientific community, in its never ending quest for information and knowledge, consistently fails to seriously acknowledge the dangers of “invisible” technology, such [...]
