Example of the use of nanotech in agriculture This week we learned about nanotechnology, which refers to the manipulation of the individual atoms and molecules of various things. The idea of nanotechnology emerged from a lecture given by a physicist named Richard Feynman. While the concept was new and had no name, Feynman really began the discussion of experimenting and controlling the smallest unit of life. The exploration of nanotechnology has become so popular because of its implications on various aspects of life. Conventional rules that bound the physical world do not necessarily apply in the same way when working with nanoscale particles. On the nanoscale, certain materials become lighter, stronger, and have better chemical reactivity. This revolutionary discovery has lead to new developments in art, technology, medicine, food, and so much more. Stained glass that contains nanoparticles While the practice of nanotechnology is fairly recent, nanoparticles have a...
