In this issue of NANO we tackle textiles and how nanotechnology is revolutionising the world of sports equipment and clothing. However, are these advances posing a danger to the cherished idea of the 'level' playing field? We will also focus in on other realms such as healthcare and protective clothing where nanotechnology can, and is, making huge advances.

NANO Helps Win Gold

The Nano-enhanced swimsuits that allowed the likes of swimmer Michael Phelps to dominate Beijing became one of the major controversies of the games. Elaine Mulcahy investigates the Nanotech advances that are helping athletes win gold, and the ethical questions they pose.

To the Extreme

We explore some uses of textiles in fire, space, war and intense uv light.could the answer lie the the properties of nanoparticles which already exist and thrive in some of the toughest environments on earth?

Bendy Chips

The University of Illinois have developed a range of strechible, flexible electronics which are so bendy they can wrap around the edge of a microscope coverslip and so stretchable they can be twisted into a corkscrew. The researchers are focusing applications development in the healthcare industry and believe these tiny, flexible electronic sheets could one day be used to line the brain to monitor activity in patients at risk of epilepsy or be integrated into surgical gloves to monitor a patient’s vital signs during surgery.

Fine Tuning

Gail McConnel discusses the pros and cons of Laser Scanning Microscopes as well as her vision to take the next step in optical imaging.

Nanosensors

Are sensors in clothes going a step too far? In our article on Nanosensors - Big benefit or big brother, the authors say it depends how the information is being used. Personal data circulated within a communications network would need to be encrypted with the proper security measures in place. Such measures must be developed before these products hit the market.
