Instead, these electrical producers will mostly use nanotechnology as a mean to provide low cost and &#8220;green&#8221; electrical powers. The use of nanotechnology in electricity production could come in the form of\u00a0electrical generations or solar cell panels that the human eyes can not see which are already implanted in paints and roofing tiles of buildings.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Sirirurg went to say that in the area of medical care, the treatment of cancer cells would be more targeted and less painful for cancer patients. Radiation treatment will be the thing of the past.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The NATION will publish a one page article on this interview \u201cNanotechnology: The Next 40 Years\u201d in the NATION MID-YEAR issue which will come out sometime in June 2011.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_2091\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2091\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nanotec.or.th\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/IMG_466511.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2091\" title=\"IMG_466511\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nanotec.or.th\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/IMG_466511.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"122\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2091\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">L-R: Lawrence (NATION), Prof. Sirirurg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 &#8220;Imagine a world where there\u00a0are no electricity lines but there is sufficient electricity for every household to use, how [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[113],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2088","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
