| Hands up if you haven't dreamt of becoming invisible at times? Researchers have too and are working on proving it's not so impossible.
Alongside some practical applications, such as self-cleaning windows, salads that contain vaccine, and tiny laptop chargers, researchers are working with nanotechnology to make invisibility, or at least a version of it, reality.
Broadly defined as the manipulation of matter on such a small scale it cannot be seen by the human eye, nanotechnology is – finally – opening the door to previously unexplored opportunities for technology and business.
The potential application of nanotech-enabled tiny machines has companies like Google exploring future uses – especially in medicine – while the University of Pennsylvania in the United States has opened a A$92 million ($102 million) nanotechnology research hub in the centre of Philadelphia.
