best use of nanotechnology yet
Chalk this post up to late night Friday Fun, from c|net:
Buffalo, N.Y.-based NanoDynamics has come up with a golf ball that can correct its own
flight path so it flies straighter than conventional balls. The ball won't shift 45 degrees in midair, but the design of the ball--and the materials it's made of--serve to better channel the energy received from the club head and thus correct a wobble or slight drift.
"It also behaves much more controllably on a putting surface, which is how we hope to get interest on the pro circuit," said Keith Blakely, CEO of NanoDynamics. "It has a reduced tendency to break. It doesn't pop or jump or roll."
Of course, this is a great technology to be tracked in the new USPTO nanotechnology classification. Philadelphia Bizjournals has additional information and the discusses the importance of the new nanotechnology classification.
