Kelantan people or kelantanese can be said as a leading people creating mini things, especially in food business. When you go to Kelantan, there a lot of food products in mini size such as mini popia, mini roti canai, mini karipap, mini murtabak but you seldom find mini ...skirt.
Now a days people love mini things. Not like the old days people love big things like big car, big house. The reason ...I think cost and easy to handle. Last time proton cars is leading car manufacture in our country. People proud to drive proton iswara, proton wira, proton aero back, proton waja and many others proton car.
Now more and more myvi and other mini car we can see on the road!. Why ?.I think because the increase of fuel cost and mmm...proton quality...and may be the trend now is mini things. That’s why a lots of manufacture producing many mini products. Mini ice-cream, mini rempeyek or even mini sites. Again why mini...if for food may be because the size of family become smaller and smaller...and again it will go back to cost.
However the world now are going to more smaller things, up to the nano size. So what is nano ?. Nanotechnology is not new, mother nature has been the best exponent since this world is created !. The nanoscale is about as small as you can get.
If you what to understand the nanoscale, is like this...it would take 80 000 nanoparticles in a row to be just the diameter of human hair ! . A one nanometer is millionth of a millimeter.!.
In nature, scientists have observed that a Gecko hang upside down on the ceiling because of nanoscale hairs on each toe. There are millions of nanosacle hairs on each toe it is able to support its own weight when its upside down. Each hair grips with miniscule forces so that the gecko can stick to the wall.
The colors in butterfly wings or pearls effects of shells are due to light being bounce off nanoscale layers in the structure of wing or shell. Christian Dior has copied this effect with their Pure Poison perfume bottle, which looks likes like a pearl due to nano-layers on the inside of the bottle.
Manufacture are copying the nature, implement nano technology in their products. They are producing stronger and lighter weight material by researching our bone structure. These finding being applied in making new cars now. Producing cars with lighter- weight material, enable more miles per liter. Car manufacturer like Ford, General Motors, BMW are producing these type of cars. In additions, Mercedes has developed an antistcarcth surface for its cars that base on nanotechnology.
It is estimated that there are already over 700 nano base products on the market. Nanotechnology has also made inroads in coating and textile industry. Stain resistance clothing and new fabric that helps white stay white are avible in the market. Socks with antimicrobial properties with silver nanoparticles are also available so no sucks sock anymore !...More and more nanotechnolgy base products will be obtained in the market, such as food, industrial material, color, flavour, security system and many others.
It is said that markets of between one-half to one trillion dollars for nanotechnology are being forecast in the 10 years time, so even 1 percent share of the market will add more than $5 billion to a company !. Thus if you are involved in manufacturing something, have a look on nanotechnology , it will bring a lots money in the future.
