Work done at the micro and nano levels
Some of the work done at the micro and nano levels remains in the laboratory with lofty goals that are barely capable of being communicated to the public .
Other applications of micro and nanotechnologyhave already found their way into our everyday lives in surprising places. Nanoparticles are found in suntan lotion, some cosmetics, protective paints and in stain-resistant clothing. For the suntan lotion and cosmetics, it is titanium dioxide particles that are reduced to the nano level. Silver nanoparticles can be found in clothing and some food packaging.
