A community portal about Below 100 Nanometers with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Nanotechnology is a field of applied science and technology covering a broad range of topics. The main unifying theme is the control of matter on a scale below 100 nano meters, as well as the fabrication of devices on this same length scale. It is a highly multidisciplinary field, drawing from fields such as colloidal science, device physics, and supramolecular chemistry. Much speculation exists as to what new science and technology might result from these lines of research. Some view nanotechnology as a marketing term that describes pre-existing lines of research.

Food Nanotechnology: Australia takes action?

There continues to be much discussion on the potential benefits of nanotechnology (manipulation of matter of less than 100 nanometers) in food. The applications range from use to improve food safety (e.g., nanosilver acts as an antibacterial agent), to improved food packaging, to controlled delivery of nutrients. Here's the deal, in a nutshell: we know very little about the actual implementation/delivery of such applications (meaning, in most cases it's highly theoretical/speculative);much... Read Full Story

Food Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is characterized as the understanding and control of matter at dimensions of roughly 1 to 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel applications. This is the basic definition used by the U.S., Canadian, European and Japanese governments and academicians – the areas of the world that are leading the pack with regard to research and development. Nanotechnology encompasses nanoscale science, engineering and technology, and involves imaging, measuring, modeling, and... Read Full Story
