Nanoparticled Teeth

You may think that nanoparticles and teeth don't mix... but you'd be mistaken.

Thanks to a semiconductor polishing technique, a professor says it's possible to make the teeth so slick no bad bacteries can stick to it.


Well, here's something I (and many more millions of people) wouldn't mind seeing put into action as soon as possible!

Carbon Nanotubes - The End of Steel?

Carbon nanotubes are constantly being heralded as one of the most promissing materials ever. They're expected to make the space elevator possible, and now it is said they can use it to create a transparent fabric stronger than steel.

Yes, you read it right.

A team of researchers says it's possible to weave a carbon nanotube fabric at up to 7 meters per second.

This new material would now only be extremly light and transparent, it would also be stronger than steel - making us wonder about the countless applications where it could be put to good use.

I think it won't be that long until we'll have to edit that Wikipedia entry regarding Star Trek's Transparent Aluminum, and change it from fictional substance to a real one.

Nanotechnology Concepts

Watch this nanotechnology concept video from Nokia, on how this technology can eventually change the way we communicate - and therefore, change our lives as well.



All we need now is a release date and affordable price tag. :)
