The new composite material is made of graphene and alloy of platinum and palladium in the form of nanoparticles. The use of metal particle of certain orientation which absorb or interact with CO at lower energy helped the conversion.

“This is a unique bulletproof jacket in that it is not only lightweight but can also defeat multiple bullet firings. The use of Boron Carbide Ceramic ensures that they remain the lightest weight ballistic protection gear.”

Newer nanomaterials are being engineered to suit the practicalities of our technologically advanced life.

This can be integrated with a cell phone, or a small device at every traffic signal which can transmit the data to your cell phone through Bluetooth

Working with nanoscience, researchers from IIT, Kharagpur, have developed a self-cleaning surface that will have real-world implications far beyond clean windows.
