...According to the Korea Testing & Research Institute for the Chemical Industry, Samsung's device kills 99.9% of bacteria and fungi. Kim says garments stay germ-free for up to a month after being laundered. The Ag+ Nano device went on sale in March 2003 (just ahead of other silver-nanotech appliances from competitors LG and Daewoo) and costs around $1,150. The revolutionary technology is also being used in Samsung's refrigerators and air conditioners...
PRESTON: Much of nanotechnology is an example of overinflated pricing. Having said that, I have seen some wonderful nanotech companies. Nanotech in sensors can be used very intelligently. I think those will win. If there's a product, a customer and money to be made, that's a different story...
...known that he is so perturbed by the potential dangers of nanotechnology - the young science that could one day make such creatures possible - and worries that it could reduce the planet to a lifeless "gray goo," that in the next couple of months he will convene a nanotech summit at his country residence, Highgrove House in Gloucestershire. But while Prince Charles ponders doomsday scenarios, millions of people already use the products of nanotech research every day without even knowing it. Consumers of Sunsorb brand sunscreen have nanotech to thank for that product's invisible protection against ultraviolet rays...
...York City native has moved from circuit patterns to nanotubes. When asked if his thesis work will be a breakthrough in nanotech, Spotnitz laughs and calmly answers, “We seem to think...
...medicine and other fields. “Developing methods that control the alignment of nanotubes successfully may facilitate the fabrication, or mass production, of nanotube-based microprocessors and sensors,” he says. And because it has never really been done before, it represents both the possibilities for nanotech and for the researcher in Spotnitz. “Research is a creative process,” Spotnitz says. This is one reason it has held his interest for so long and takes up so much of his time and energy...
