Applications of Nanotechnology that will amaze you

Introduction

Nanotechnology manipulates nano-scale matter to make materials and devices that are used in sectors such as electronics, energy or medicine. This technology has various applications and currently devices are being developed capable of administering drugs or nanomaterials such as those we will see below:

Augmented reality contact lenses: Innovavega company is developing contact lenses called optics that allow virtual content to be simultaneously visualized in the real vision. It works by projecting on the retina of the virtual image that passes through the central optic of the lens and, when it unites with the real vision, it is perceived as a single vision; This is made with microcomponents so small that they do not bother the eye or interfere with vision. 

These lenses have also been designed to improve the vision capabilities of the eye, they can correct and enhance the clarity of real world vision.

Water Drinking: This book called THE DRINKABLE BOOK has leaves that act as water purification, paper is coated with nano silver particles that act as a filter and eliminate 99.9% of the bacteria present in the water. Each leaf can make 100 liters of water drinkable and a book can filter a person's water supply for 4 years.

This project, managed by the Water is Life Organization, aims to simplify the process of water potability in third world countries and will be able to provide drinking water to millions of people. 

Nano bactericidal material: A team of Australian researchers have developed a nano material that kills the batteries using the peaks on their surface to destroy them. This invention is manufactured with a nanostructure of black sackcloth that is designed to mimic the structure of the dragonfly's halos.

This material exceeds the efficiency of nature's design and can kill bacteria. The manufacturing process of this material is simple, fast and compatible with large-scale production and will have important industrial and biomedical applications.

Artificial skin: MIT scientists have developed an artificial skin that protects the real skin from dehydration, in addition to rejuvenating it by removing wrinkles, it also protects against the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays and can be used to better administer skin medications gradually. 

This nano material is a transparent gel that when dried is practically invisible and is made of siloxane. This nano material has already been tested in patients' discharges from a Boston university hospital and there have been no reported inflammations or skin irritations.

Nano sensors: Nano sensors are being developed that can be used together to measure blood pressure, respiration and glucose in the blood or cholesterol, among other physiological indicators.
