Nuclear Power and Nanomaterials: Big Potential for Small Particles

Nuclear Power and Nanomaterials: Big Potential for Small Particles
PDF Version 
A class of very small particles may be gearing up to lend a helping hand in making power plants more efficient and less costly to operate. Nanomaterials are natural materials whose defining feature is a small size; because of their size, the physical principles governing how particles behave and interact with their environments change. As a result, scientists are investigating how nanomaterials can be used to solve energy and defense problems. By Lamar O.
