Future of Nanotechnology in Automotive

Implementation of Nanotechnology in future hybrid cars. (Modified Fig.-Nanotechnology innovation opportunities for tomorrow’s defence) It is impossible for a single technology to influence almost every major industry around the world. Nanotechnology falls into this category and offers fundamentally unique potential and capabilities to architect a broad array of novel materials, composites and structures on a molecular scale. This...

Scratch-Resistant and Dirt-Resistant Paints uses Nano-particle

Nanoparticle coatings for vehicles can self-clean - they surface is made super-hydrophobic, causing water to form beads on the surface and run easily off, collecting and removing dirt in the process. Cleaning is therefore much easier, and required less frequently. Image re-drawn from Nanovere Technologies. ...

Nanotechnology - The BMW GINA Light Visionary Model

BMW GINA (Geometry and Functions In “N” Adaptions) Light Visionary Model It seems that the reality is catching up with science fiction fast. On TV, the latest Knight Rider series feat uses a car that embraces nanotechnology to change colors and morph into similar car forms temporarily. In their press releases BMW writes: The key to affecting the development of tomorrow’s mobility lies in our readiness...

Nanotechnology Application

Source: "Commercial scale production of inorganic nanoparticles" In 1959, Richard Feynman became the first individual to give a lecture about the concepts involved in nanotechnology. He gave the talk at the American Physical Society at Caltech. The talk specifically examined how individuals might be able to manipulate atoms and molecules into smaller structures. The talk was well received, and it introduced the idea to the...
