Nano World off the Radar for Most People
Sunscreens contain nano particles, carbon and titania nanotubes show promise and nano structures are the rage in engineering schools.
While the proliferation of nano research may signal a mini-revolution, outside the realms of business and science, this insurgency may be no more than a whisper, according to an international team of researchers. "In the last 15 years we have continuously been exposed to a variety of emerging technologies -- biotechnology, information science and technology, cognitive science and now nanotechnology," says Akhlesh Lakhtakia, the Charles Godfrey Binder professor of engineering science and mechanics at Penn State.
