New Morgellons article relating it to nanotechnology

This is an excellent summary of the dangers of nanotechnology, and goes on to relate it to Morgellons. In addition, it is a great website for general health issues: Wednesday, May 27, 2009 Nanotechnology: The Future At Whose Expense? Nanotechnology is the antithesis of Natural Health (as it relates to LNH), although nature has been lab-copied to create nanotechnology, but it is big news and affects all of us on one level or another. We'd be remiss if we didn't discuss it. Let's... Read Full Story

I-CanNano claims to be the world leader in the production of... Read Full Story

Cheap Plastic Used in CDs Could Improve Aircraft, Computer Electronics

If one University of Houston professor has his way, the inexpensive plastic now used to manufacture CDs and DVDs will one day soon be put to use in improving the integrity of electronics in aircraft, computers and iPhones. Thanks to a pair of grants from the U.S. Air Force, Shay Curran, associate professor of physics at Houston, and his research team have demonstrated ultra-high electrical conductive properties in plastics, called polycarbonates, by mixing them with just the right amount...

New Nano Technology

Scientists make advances on "nano" electronics. By Julie Steenhuysen CHICAGO (Reuters) - Two U.S. teams have developed new materials that may pave the way for ever smaller, faster and more powerful electronics as current semiconductor technology begins to reach the limits of miniaturization. One team has made tiny transistors -- the building block of computer processors -- a fraction of the size of those used on advanced silicon chips. Another has made a film material capable of storing data... Read Full Story

Credit: DuPont Carbon nanotubes hold promise as a material for making thin, flexible electronics like displays and solar cells. But one stumbling block to making transistors out of them has been achieving the right combination of electrical properties in the nanotubes. Now a simple chemical... Read Full Story

Honda makes breakthrough with carbon nanotube development

Honda has been working on a new technology that could lead to a breakthrough in vehicle development. Initial research by the firm, joined with scientists at Purdue University and the University of Louisville, has shown that microscopic carbon nanotubes may be capable of distributing electricty quicker and more efficiently. The nanotubes may also be used to create a material that is at least as light as carbon fiber, but stronger than steel. Researchers currently grow the carbon nanotubes on... Read Full Story
