Nanotechnology: some neat finds

[Gene2]

If anyone has read the May 2008 issue of Popular Science, you probably read a good deal about the "Real Iron Man", aka. Raytheon-Sarcos's XOS Exoskeleton program/prototype(s). When looking at the proposed concept for 2020, you can see the new type of polymer nanofiber linkage that is located near the waste and shoulders. Dallas NanoTech Institue Director Ray Baughman and collegues of his have created this type of artifical muscle (one out of a vast amount of solutions by others), and lately I have found on top of the information in the Popular Science issue a lot more information that is quite intriguing. Such concepts as allowing the artificial muscle to sweat a certain kind of alchohol fuel due to not being able to cool down after being heated, and what kind of particles exactly make up this synthetic material. Some links below:

wholy moly. thats insane

And i thought Nanotechnology only exist in metal gear.....
