I thought this was cute and also useful, so we're going with it. Scientists have put together gold and silver nanoparticles and nicknamed them baubles, like Christmas tree decorations. And they are going to be helping us out, as they are a lot more useful than regular baubles.
See, we've been struggling with medicine for a while and this just may be perfect. They could be used as micro-catalysts that could be put in drugs to make them react with proper cells and areas instead of missing half the time and being really ineffective.
Also, because they are made with all kind of metal alloys instead of just one, they could be the future of electronics, with more memory and higher speeds in a way smaller amount of space. I mean, how cool would it be to have an iPod smaller than your fingernail that can do everything a normal one can? I think it is worth trying.
Have you noticed how we are obessed with making everything smaller, lighter, sleeker, whatever, nowadays? All technology has gotton way smaller over the years. Soon we may not be able to see any of it anymore. It's kind of hard to imagine all that technology shoved into one little molecule (well maybe not that small). Can't wait. Next it'll be the food. Sigh.
