NANOTECHNOLOGY
It's the biggest technology challenge since the information superhighway and it is revolutionising science. So, what IS Nanotechnology?
This video offers an introductory overview of Nanotechnology - exploring the science and processes behind it, its applications in the material world, and its potential to solve global environmental, health, and medical problems. It also reviews consumer concerns and regulatory challenges.
The video aims to increase awareness and understanding of these still emerging technologies and the issues they raise.
Production:
NARRATOR: Professor Andrew Peele, Australian Synchrotron.
PRODUCERS: Adrienne Jones & Francesca Calati.
