Nanotechnology: in the continuation of the topic of innovation.
Continuing the topic of nanotechnology, I found the article “The Invisible Market”, published in the journal “The Secret of the Firm ” (No. 7 (190) February 26, 2007). It has several interesting examples of what has already been done.
Who will get the largest market share of $ 1 trillion? That is exactly what the sales of products based on nanotechnology will bring by 2015. Corporations are in a hurry to join the race.
“My attempt to draw attention to the problem was the result
headlines like “The Prince of Wales scares the nightmare of“ gray goo ””. TO
I never used this expression and do not believe that
self-replicating robots smaller than a virus are capable of

the planet, "- Prince Charles justified in the pages of The
Independent on Sunday.
"Gray mucus" (a term coined in 1986 by a doctor
Eric Drexler ) relates to the field of nanotechnology -
science and industry, where the main production
"Brick" is an atom. Similar scale of construction
allows you to create molecules and, therefore, substances with given
properties, which in practice means the ability to "force"
product to do whatever the developer thinks.
Molecular construction opens up tremendous prospects.
A bacteria-based engine, a dozen transport carts
molecules, a robot “submarine” traveling through the veins for
anti-blood clots, cancer cell fighters ... This is just the tip
iceberg. And, of course, the very “nanites” are self-produced.
nanorobots building their own copies of molecules extracted from
ambient substance. By the way, they too can be non-hostile.
Such builders are able to design new materials,
giving them amazing properties - from self-reproduction to
self-cleaning and repair.
Since 2004, there has been a real nanotechnology boom in the world. By
different estimates, the annual amount of public funding in
this area is about $ 5 billion, about the same investment
private business. It is expected that by 2012 this amount will increase to
$ 600 billion, and in ten years will reach $ 1 trillion, surpassing the markets
electronics, medicine, chemistry and energy.
Russia has every chance not to be left out of this process. AT
At the end of last year, the Russian government adopted a federal
a nanotechnology development program with a $ 29 billion allocation
rub. for five years since 2007. In the fight for the budget already
entered the Moscow, Perm and Saratov regions, presenting
their nanotechnology development programs based on these
regions of high-tech industries and research
centers.
Despite Russia’s significant lag behind developed countries in
nanotechnology, we already have such an industry. At the rate
chief editor of the journal "Russian nanotechnology", academic
RAS Mikhail Alfimov, total production,
created using nanotechnology is at level 3
billion rubles This mainly applies to semiconductor and
chemical industry.
Today, nanotechnology is mainly used in
the production of materials with desired properties, optics, medicine and
biochemistry, electronics and agriculture. In the consumer
market, according to average estimates, there are no more than 500 products,
manufactured using nanotechnology. Non-sticky
"Nanosol", thick, but easily flowing from the bottles "nanoketchup" -
the sphere of nanotechnology from the moment of birth was one step away from
speculation and projecting. What to look for the consumer on the shelves
Stores now and in the near future? SF chose the most
interesting nanoproducts.
Nano ball
"For the time being, you still need to be able to play a little
golf ", - says one of the forum participants
de.rec.sport.golf on Google website the appearance of a new ball under the brand
NDMX from NanoDynamics. No, he turns 45 degrees
does not know how and he himself will not reach the pocket, either way, but
tells the executive director of the company Kate Blakely,
NDMX-ball will fly farther and more precisely, and it will require an application.

The key to the amazing properties of the ball should be unusual

Company employees say they figured out how to make the ball

change in weight distribution in the shell. They think they can
save not one spoiled weekend golfers falling into
prostration from uncontrolled flight of the ball. Frank thomas
former technical director of the US Golf Association, says
"This is probably one of the most important steps in the design of balls
for golf over the past 50 years. " "The idea is just awesome, only
I do not know if such a ball obeys any laws of physics at all. AND
most importantly, won't it be banned at competitions? ”asks a question
on the same golfers forum Mark Reichenbach, a keen player
to golf.
A set of three balls from NanoDynamics costs $ 39.95. In company
They say that their product is unlikely to shake the positions of such
manufacturers like Wilson, Nike or Titleist, in the market,
estimated at $ 4 billion a year. “But if NanoDynamics succeeds

Excellent jackpot for yesterday's start-up, "- writes American
columnist John Dvorak in Market Watch.

The world's largest food concerns, such as
Nestle, Kraft and Unilever, although they don’t like to talk about it,
lead the development of nanotransporters - tiny capsules containing
vitamins, flavoring substances and dyes and those who can give their
cargo by request. “Willy Wonka - that's who the father of nanoedics. If you remember
the owner of a chocolate factory invented the gum with a taste of dinner from three
dishes, ”writes Alex Renton in Guardian Unlimited.
Scientists paint such a picture: you take pizza nano-preparations and
depending on the temperature in the microwave you get
pizza of a specific taste - mushroom, "four cheeses" or salami.
Experts suggest that these products are turned not only
consumer habits, but the entire food market, as in its
time made it instant food. Estimated
Helmut Kaiser Consultancy, by 2010 the market of nano-nutrition will be
$ 20.4 billion. Today, more than 200 companies worldwide are
active development in this area. The United States leads here, behind them
followed by Japan and China. Estimated by the same Helmut Kaiser
Consultancy, namely Asia, whose population by 2010 will be more than
50% of the world's population will be the largest nano-food market.
