Life-changing knowledge does typically require advanced learning techniques. In fact, it's been said that the average adult only uses 10% of his/her brain. Imagine what we may be capable of with more advanced learning techniques.

Quoted: You might be surprised where nanotechnology is showing up now. Here are nine places to look.
A cancer-suppressing gene has been successfully delivered into the tumors of stage 4 lung cancer patients via an intravenously administered lipid nanoparticle in a phase I clinical trial at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. The gene, FUS1, also was found to be active in the metastatic non-small cell lung cancer tumors.

University of Massachusetts researchers said nanoparticles are small enough to penetrate cell membranes and defenses, yet they are large enough to cause trouble by interfering with normal cell processes. Such nanoparticles, which are in use in a wide variety of industries, can be difficult to isolate, since they are much too small for removal by conventional filtering techniques.
Single walled carbon nanotubes may be considered to be graphene cylinders; some have a hemispherical graphene cap (that includes 6 pentagons) at each end. Graphenes have also attracted the interest of technologists who see them as a way of constructing ballistic transistors. In March 2006, Georgia Tech researchers announced that they had successfully built an all-graphene planar field-effect transistor and a quantum interference device.
Called graphene, it is essentially a nanotube unrolled—a single layer of atoms arranged like a honeycomb. The difference may sound cosmetic, but when the goal is manipulating things that are a few atoms thick, going from tube to sheet makes a big difference.

Automotive breakthroughs are an almost daily event, if you believe the press coming out of the car industry. The 2006 auto-show circuit showcased eight-speed automatics, high-res night vision, zero-lag turbos and a dozen other hyphenated doodads. But real automotive breakthroughs—the ones that transform the industry, and our hopes for it—are rare. We're here to show you a few of them.
