One of the most interesting advances in engineering in recent times has been on the sub-micron level, with the technology of <100nm scale loosely called nanotechnology. Nanotechnology has the potential to revolutionize fields as diverse as medicine, manufacturing, information processing, and more. In this newsletter, Baverstam provides an update on leading edge nanomaterials and brings to light new production methods for nanoparticles and novel applications. The focus of this newsletter is new and exciting developments on newly discovered nanoparticles and nanostructures.
