Nanos, Nanos, Everywhere. Applications of Nanotechnology
Description
Materials with properties copied directly from nature, manufacturing processes that rely on self-assembly, hyper-efficient energy production: these are some of the promises of nanotechnology. In this program, Nobel Laureate Alan J. Heeger and other leading researchers open their labs to viewers, displaying nanotech applications ranging from intelligent textiles and self-cleaning glass, to electron-spin transistors and flexible-screen OLED devices, to solar cells made of semiconductor "ink" printed onto thin plastic film and hydroxide-consuming nanoparticles that can restore a Renaissance fresco. Produced by La Compagnie des Taxi-brousse in partnership with UER/EBU, EEC DG Research, CNC, Region L-R, PROCIREP-ANGOA, France5, UR, RTBF, and TFO.
