Great news. The University of Strathclyde has developed a
new paint that can be used to detect micro fractures in structures such as wind
turbines and bridges so that they can be repaired before there is serious
structural damage. It’s low cost and, they claim, environmentally friendly.
Personally I’m not so
keen on nanotechnology. Can any techies out there explain to me why it’s a good
idea and not a disaster waiting to happen? In other words, can it react in
unexpected ways with the wider environment and cause problems? There can often
be unexpected consequences to the release of novel organisms.
