Nano engineered gadgets

Nanotechnology, the study of the controlling of matter on an atomic and molecular scale, has brought about a revolution in the field of science and technology, for it has the potential to create many new materials and devices with a vast range of applications, such as in medicine, electronics and energy production. Designers have taken a leaf from nanotech and have created gadgets that are worth appreciation, and here we have listed a few for your delight.

Sense

Envisioning a future where you could smell, touch and taste anything before buying or playing with it, CD&I Associates is set to evolve your net surfing and shopping habits or trends, allowing technology to build new interactive media which can be accessed anywhere, anytime.

Electrolux Duo infuser

Introducing the new generation of tea infusers, Mexican designer Emma Moreno has come up with an innovative infuser entitled the “Duo” that uses nanotechnology for heating, giving an entirely new meaning to the traditional way of making tea. The new infuser is simple to use, all you need to do is fill it up, turn it on and choose the heating level, and then put it into your cup where it heats up as soon as it gets in touch with hot water.

AVA Bluetooth touch-phone

Taking the most out of a gadget used in day-to-day life, Uzbek designer Donnie Mamanov has come up with an innovative touch-phone that features dynamic nano technology to provide a functional platform to next-gen users. Featuring a semi rounded shape with glossy metallic finish, the concept phone measures 160mm in length and 60mm in width, with only 7mm thickness, presenting a slim and sleek device for the geeks.

Self-Energy Converting Sunglasses

Designed by Hyun-Joong Kim and Kwang-Seok Jeong, the SIG or ‘Self-Energy Converting Sunglasses’ is the latest innovative device for powering your gadgets. The multifunctional sunglasses come with dye solar cells, used with nanotechnology, lenses that turns sun rays into electrical energy, which is good enough to power all sort of small gadgets.

Morph

Morph is a concept that demonstrates how future mobile devices might be stretchable and flexible, allowing the user to transform their mobile device into radically different shapes. So basically you can change it in to a circle, a sphere and maybe even a cone to put your ice cream in!

RFID Tags

Researchers from Sunchon National University in Suncheon, South Korea, and Rice University in Houston have built a radio frequency identification tag that can be printed directly onto cereal boxes and potato chip bags. The tag uses ink laced with carbon nanotubes to print electronics on paper or plastic that could instantly transmit information about a cart full of groceries.
