It's the little things that count the most

Abstract:
Applications for nanotechnology are varied, from doubling the lifespan of the humble tennis ball and increasing the feel and control of tennis rackets - great for Wimbledon fans, to self cleaning cars -great for lazy Sunday mornings.

Professor Richard Williams, vice chancellor for enterprise, knowledge transfer and international strategy at the University of Leeds, and director of the Nanofactory, explained how nanobusiness is impacting on a global scale, opening up debate on the implications for future innovation. Highlighting regional success stories such as Chamelic's self-cleaning cars, Williams commented on how Yorkshire and Humber has positioned itself to play a leading role in the international market for Nanotechnology, and the speed and effectiveness of global innovations..
