Nanotechnology


Wonders of Nanotech.....!
Over the last few years, the innovations in nanotechnology have been impressive. Nanotechnology is creating things at a molecular scale, and everything from microscopic robots to more efficient energy storage have come out of the new science. Check out a few of the inventions that have caught our interest:

Innovations Using Nanotechnology
Nanotech Breakthrough Could Offer More Efficient Energy Storage Scientists from the University of Texas as Austin have announced that they have made a nanotech breakthrough using Graphene, a one atom thick carbon material, which they say could lead to new energy storage solutions.

Breakthrough Nano Tech Will Boost Solar Power Efficiency
The nanostructure film reduces the amount of light that is reflected off the glass surface. For eyeglasses (or camera lenses!), this is good because you get less glare and more light goes through, so you see better. But for solar panels, this means that more of the sun's light reaches the surface of the panels (usually either silicon or copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS)) and doesn't just bounce back into space, so more photons can be captured and turned into clean electricity.
