Nanotechnology Offers New Construction Materials
Listen in now to an interview (13 minutes) with Dr. George Elvin, director of the Green Technology Forum, to hear about some amazing nanotechnology items that are ripe for the construction industry. The super-insulating material at the left is called Aerogel and is claimed to be the world’s lightest solid since it is 99.95 percent air. The material offers high insulating value along with translucency.
George also talks about photovoltaics that become integral parts of buildings and carbon chains, a new way to add strength to metals and to create self-healing concrete.
