I admit, I have invested in nanotech companies, but that is not the reason I clipped this, if it were, I would not tell you that. The incredible potential benefits of this technology are remarkable, from safe drinking water in countries that are suffering, to medical and scientific advances that are beneficial to all mankind. The possibilities are seemingly endless!
While its benefits are still years away from reaching the public, scientists hope nanotechnology -- the manipulation of atoms as raw materials -- will eventually live up to the hype it's received for its potential to advance medicine, electronics and manufacturing. From helping diagnose diseases more accurately to keeping computers running more smoothly, the manipulation of atoms is a challenge with a whole new set of rules. The scientists who work with these tiniest of raw materials see a world just as mesmerizing as those who study the farthest reaches of outer space. Nanotech turns some long-held principles of physics upside down Last week the NanoWater congress met in Amsterdam to discuss how nanotechnology applications can help solve the world's water shortage. ilters to block the passage of bacteria and viruses across a nanofibrous membrane effectively, making potable water available for people in places like Bangladesh Nanotech
