A Nanotechnology Consumer Products Inventory
Today's site, from the Woodrow Wilson International Center, provides a list
of the remarkable items produced with nanotechnology features. Gentle
Subscribers, who even 15 years ago, assumed that nantechnology was simply
the stuff of science fiction, may be surprised by the variety and features
of nano products reaching the marketplace.
"After more than twenty years of basic and applied research,
nanotechnologies are gaining in commercial use. Nanoscale materials now are
in electronic, cosmetics, automotive and medical products. But it has been
difficult to find out how many "nano" consumer products are on the market
and which merchandise could be called "nano." ... While not comprehensive,
this inventory gives the public the best available look at the 450+
nanotechnology-based consumer products currently on the market." - from the
website
The site lists more than 500 hundred products which have already hit the
shelves. From cotton sheets, treated with nano-silver to reduce the
presence of disease-causing microbes, to golf club shafts with a nano
enhancement to make them stronger and lighter weight, the inventory
includes specific details and photos of each product from the
manufacturer's specifications. The list is searchable by country or
category, and visitors can browse through it alphabetically. In addition, a
short and optimistic primer on nanotechnology also offers relevant links to
learn more.
