Nano Bio Technology

Researchers from Venezuela working on the design of nanomaterials for use in low-cost solar cells in order to increase the utilization of solar energy conversion into electricity. Juan Matos, Center of Materials Engineering and Nanotechnology at the Venezuelan Institute for Scientific Research (IVIC), said it will reduce production costs of solar cells to the problem [...]

The nanotechnology has allowed the development of nanoparticles with antibacterial effect that helps create food contact packaging safer. Among the nanotechnology products for use in food contact materials, include nanostructured clays that prevent oxygen from entering the interior of drinks and other foods, reduce oxidation and increase stability and half-life of them.
