Turning Clay Into Nanotech

The people at Natural Nano have found that hallousite clay can yield a natural source of nanotubes.The clay, found in Utah, is a natural nanomaterial with remarkable properties. Now, NaturalNano's team of scientists is developing methods of separating out the nanotubes and processing them for use in some 200 commercial applications, such as additives in polymers and plastics, electronic components, cosmetics, and absorbents.

A Car That Makes Its Own Gravy

How would you like a car that makes it own fuel? A unique system that can produce Hydrogen inside a car using common metals such as Magnesium and Aluminum was developed by an Israeli company. The system solves all of the obstacles associated with the manufacturing, transporting and storing of hydrogen to be used in cars. When it becomes commercial in a few years time, the system will be incorporated into cars that will cost about the same as existing conventional cars to run, and will be completely emission free.
