" The future of how the world communicates, and how we power our lives, will likely come from the same source. According to the NanoFrontiers newsletter, nanotechnolgoy will be central to developing and using new electronics and energy technologies.

In the latest installment of the podcast series Trips to the Nanofrontier, journalist Karen Schmidt interviews Dr. Jim Heath about how computers, healthcare applications and other devices will use nanotechnology to exchange and obtain information more effectively.

To power these new applications, as well as every other modern human activity, officials from industry and government are searching for new technologies that will foster more efficient and less-polluting energy sources. Nanotechnology will be Energizing the Future.

From nanotech-enabled solar panels to long-lasting automobile batteries that contain nanoparticles, each days brings closer a future where vehicles run on electricity and are equipped with clever ways of making electricity on board, making us less dependent on gasoline.

It’s the next great paradigm shift in our industry, an opportunity largely due to the rapid advancement in battery cell technology that results directly from nanotechnology science..."
