Nanotechnology is talked about recently very much but not visbible in our everyday life.
Its still in the research phase and its implementation is currently restricted to very specific applications........ The biggest problm is that even after decades of research, the world of nano and its awesumness is not yet completely explored ........ But i rather believe that the nanotechnological advancement must be focussed on very specific thrust areas - space, biomedical etc.
I have a question too - "what part of your daily life would u like to be replaced by nanotechnology"
Cheers :)
Strange it may seem, your power to actually see things comes from nanotechnology such as only nature can practice to perfection!
Humans have unwittingly employed nano-tech for thousands of years for example in making steel, paintings and in vulcanizing - rubber etc. Now the technology recover the things......
Semiconductor Lasers are nanotechnology. So if Cd, DVD, Blueray-Players, cheap internet connections and laser cutting of materials have an influence on your life. It might be today.
Nano technology used for - Self cleaning coatings, Quantum dots for drug delivery, Aluminium nano particles for rocket propulsion, gold nano particles are used to catalyze chemical reactions, magnetic nano particle Iron oxide acts as contrast agent in MRI ,Food and gas sensors, Infrared Micro bolometer detectors and magnetic materials for storage devices, Superior implant materials, Magnetic Hypertheramia for cancer treatment, Bio sensors and for Biomedical applications etc.
The influence of nanotechnology is clearly visible in our everyday life. All you need to do is to carefully observe women. The cosmetic industry holds by far the largest number of patents in nanotechnology.
