Now nanotechnology has been embraced by the fashion world too. Fiber scientists and fashion designers have come together to create a piece of clothing which can not only shield you from flu and cold but does not even require any washing. The other piece of clothing which has also been created using nanotechnology not only offers protection against smog and air pollution but also safeguards you against dangerous gases.
If you look closely at these pieces of clothing with a microscope you will realize that these are group electrostatically charged nanoparticles which create a protective shield around the cotton fibers in the dress. Created using solutions containing nanoparticles the color achieved is not the result of any dye but reflections of manipulation of nanoparticles. It looks certain that nanotechnology would get the needed popularity through the world of fashion.

It was simply amazing to know that
First, please excuse my ignorance in the nano biosensor field. I do business development, marketing and innovative concepts for grants for a small aerospace engineering company. We do not work in the sensor field, so I have limited knowledge on the subject so far, but I am actively researching.
I have a pet project outside of aerospace that I am investigating. Can you tell me the size of this sensor and approximate price tag for a sensor of this nature. I am doing a feasibility study, but if it is cost prohibitive my research will halt. I am also looking for anyone that would like to speak with me regarding the project, as I need an expert to PI.
The sensor(s) I would need would require real time data that can be transmitted immediately upon detection of the quantities exceeding a data range. This is not in the field of medicine per say, outside of the fact that it will be recording bio data on humans. It has tremendous expansion potential outside of the initial application. However, no sale has been made of yet, as I am still in the first stage with the feasibility study and development of a business plan.
