Revolutionary Electric Motor is a Single Nanometer Wide
Researchers have created an electric “motor” that is essentially a tiny molecule only one nanometer wide. Continue reading

For Stretchable Electronics, Slinky Circuits
Researchers have developed a prototype for coiled nanowires that could one day serve as stretchable circuitry. But can they make them walk down nano-stairways on their own? Continue reading

SwimSport: Keep Your Bathing Suit Dry
While swimming is almost always a blast (save for when your boat capsizes), having a soaking wet swimsuit riding up your crack has never been a pleasure. A new company from Brooklyn called Sun Dry Swim is looking to change ass cracks around the world with a new nanotechnology that repels water from the swimsuit. The result is a self-drying suit that makes beads of water roll right off the material. It even provides extra UV protection from the sun,... Continue reading
NanoNuno Nanotechnology Umbrella stays dry like a lotus leaf
The product name leads us to believe that the creators of this NanoNuno Umbrella come from the same planet as Robin Williams from Mork and Mindy, yet signs show that the Nanotechnology Umbrella were indeed made on Earth. It’s modeled after the lotus leaf and is said to maintain its dryness and cleanliness for years. How does the NanoNuno accomplish such a task? Following the elegant design of nature! The reason a lotus leaf seems to have dirt and water... Continue reading
nDoo or not nDoo? That is the concept: Nanotechnology in 2047
Designer Patrick Gunther takes a mix of fantasy and possible futuristic medicine and has designed some prototypes for what he envisions nanotechnology to look like in the future. Gunther thinks that in only forth years time, we might have nanotechnology capable of swimming through our bloodstream, acting as a man-made immune system. AIDS and other immunity deficient diseases would become obsolete. The designs look like a cross between a moth and a web cam. Yes, we have weird eyes sometimes.... Continue reading
