The top ten developments?
Fixing the Road.
Every day I am stunned by the state of roads around this part of the world. Given the coastal situation the low road is completely full of potholes and bad repairs. So here is the thing, given that road surfaces fail so easily why aren't you nanoscientists coming up with a new roadsurface impervious to sea salt and wear and tear???
If manufacturing is entering the "Golden Age" of nanotechnology, then carbon nanotubes are the "Golden Child." These tubes of graphite many times thinner than a human hair have become a emerging technology because of their potential ability to add strength and other important properties to materials. Adding carbon nanotubes to plastics and other polymers has potential to make automobile and airplane bodies stronger and lighter, and textiles more tear-resistant.
A new study by the Canadian Program on Genomics and Global Health (CPGGH) at the University of Toronto Joint Centre for Bioethics (JCB), a leading international medical ethics think-tank, has listed the top ten Nanotech applications it sees as helping out the poorer nations of the world.
The top 10 nanotechnology applications are:
* Energy storage, production and conversion
* Agricultural productivity enhancement
* Water treatment and remediation
* Disease diagnosis and screening
* Drug delivery systems
* Food processing and storage
* Air pollution and remediation
* Construction
* Health monitoring
* Vector and pest detection and control

He did not wish to hurt his friend's feelings by refusing to go out to drive with him, but he would not rack his own nervous phentermine system by accompanying him.. The living automaton went through the same motions as before, and again Elder Brown quaffed phentermine the fatal mixture.. We've been pretty good friends for clindamycin some months, and I'm going to take the risk of offending you again.. Deliverance came from lortab an entirely unexpected source.. A violent passion of grief for his loss was no more possible than for the prozac pensive decay of the year...
Hi!
You can't have the worst roads,Canada does!
