Nanotechnology for Saving the Planet

Abstract:
Nanotechnology can be used to reduce your carbon footprint and save money on your energy bills.

According to the U.K.'s Energy Saving Trust, around half of the energy loss in a typical home is through the walls and attic. Conventional insulating materials like fiberglass work by trapping air to slow down heat loss. But these materials can be bulky, and are not always practical, especially in an industrial setting.
