NanoTube Video Contest - "How will Nano Change the World?"

In our last video contest "What is Nano?", you showed us that nano is a way of making things smaller, lighter and more efficient, making it possible to build better machines, solar cells, materials and radios. But another question remains: how exactly is "nano" going to impact both us and the world? We want you to think big about nano and show us how nano will address the challenges we face today.

What can nano do for global security?
What can nano do for the environment?
What can nano do for sustainable energy?
What can nano do for fighting disease?
What can nano do for the products you use?
What can nano do for YOU?

Congratulations to the winners of the 2nd ACS Nanotation NanoTube Video Contest!

First place was awarded to Natalie Herring et al. from the University of North Carolina, Charlotte for their video "NanoGirls", which detailed how nano solar cells will generate clean energy.

The runner-up was Wilfredo Yave from GKSS-Forschungszentrum who submitted "Nano Story", which described how nanoscience will solve the problem of global warming.

The winners were determined by voting from the general public, and were awarded $500 and $300, respectively for their entries.

Ferromagnetic Funk Fluid

This is what Wei Chandra, Ryan Satcher, and Santiago Caceres, and I (Alex Stanley) made for our MATE 232 final project. The song at the end, "Ferromagnetic Funk Fluid," was written and preformed by Ryan and Me. Featuring cameos by my roommates, Dennis Hansen (blonde guy) and Alan Tuong (Turban guy) Lyrics: Walkin around, downtown, thinkin about Ferromagnetic fluid If you ask me why, then Ill reply, Im a nerd, but I think you knew that. So you ask me what it is And I say, what? And you say, ferrofluid. Well, that aint no simple tale, But if you walk with me Ill tell it Then I pull a vile out of my pocket And then I pull out a magnet, and you say What is this thing, this black ball of spikes?! It looks like an evil porcupine! Oh no, thats just how the fluid aligns Along magnetic field lines Removing the field makes the spikes go away A black pool of liquid is all that remains Despite the ferromagnetic part of its name, the magnetization dont stay So, your
