Nanocatalysts
For Oil, Drugs New York (UPI) March 25, 2005
The catalysts on which more than 20 percent of world industrial production
is based -- including the expensive platinum employed to scrub clean the
exhausts of millions of vehicles and the molecules pharmaceutical giants
use to manufacture drugs -- soon could be replaced in large part by more
effective nanotechnology upgrades, experts told UPI's Nano World.

Nanotechnologists'
New Plastic Can See In The Dark Toronto QC (SPX) Jan 19, 2005
Imagine a home with "smart" walls responsive to the environment
in the room, a digital camera sensitive enough to work in the dark, or clothing
with the capacity to turn the sun's power into electrical energy. Researchers
at University of Toronto have invented an infrared-sensitive material that
could shortly turn these possibilities into realities.
