While extravagant claims are already attracting law suits, two Wyoming nanotechnology entrepreneurs cheekily claim to have quietly beaten the “world’s biggest corporations” to market, despite applying transforbsean levels of nanohype themselves. Make no mistake; nanotechnology is “the manipulation of cell and atomic structure in materials no larger than a billionth of a meter in size” according to the Newark Advocate.
While nanotechnology may be “so revolutionary, it’s being compared to the discovery of fire, the Industrial Revolution, and the invention of the Internet” according to the Newark Advocate, the numerous pictures of the widespread use of ‘nansulate’ on the Industrial Nanotechnology web site makes us wonder what “Hydro-NM-Oxide” used to be called.
We checked with a few polymer chemists who all commented that Hydro-NM-Oxide sounds “a bit odd” – perhaps almost as odd as the nano water we encountered in Hong Kong recently?
