Robotic ants in your Khaki pants?
Dockers' new brand of pants, called Go Khakis, inspired an enterprising Popular Science writer to question Dockers customer service, wondering if "nanotechnology" meant that little robots were running around in the pants, guarding against stains.
A little background at Nanotechnology Now would have revealed that nanotechnology is not restricted to ultra-small robots; the phrase is also used to encompass nanocomposites, nanocrystals, nanoparticles, and much more.
My question would be to the customer service department of Nanotechnology, Inc. "How is nanotechnology any different from basic chemical materials?" Could Teflon, for example, be considered a nanotechnolgy? How about that fancy H2O stuff?
