CASTAÑEDA-GUTIÉRREZ, ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT GROUP, CONDUMEX If you pick up any scientiﬁc journal or scan the web, you can’t miss learning how nanotechnology is leading to new and improved electrotechnical products—laptops with ever increasing speed and memory, cell phones that dwarf the capabilities of those oﬀered even a year ago, better touch screens, and more eﬃcient lighting. In the not-too-distant future, nano-sized crystals called quantum dots will revolutionize solar power and usher in ﬂexible displays, cell phones will recoup energy they use while you talk, and the expansion of new applications for GPS systems will continue. 16 NEMA electroindustry • August 09
