 * __Nanotechnology: __**** the science and technology of extremely small particles used in building electronic circuits and devices from single atoms and molecules in fields involving science. **

**__Applications of Nanotechnology__**

- Nanotechnology can play a major role in making national security more effective. -Nanotechnology applications are related to energy. -Nanotechnology helps with space flight.

**__Uses of Silver Nanoparticles__**

-Nanotechnology can be used in multiple sports. -In baseball, tennis, and football, nanoparticles are used to help make equipment weigh less and stronger. -It assists materials to help make athletic shoes buoyant and the athlete faster. -Sport equipment used by the National Football League, yoga mats, exercise mats, and sport towels used nanotechnology to help stop the spread of disease.
 * Sports Equipment **

-Nanotechnology help bottles cartons and films being developed to protect food from harmful gases that effect the preservation of foods. -It also helps to develop “interactive” food, allowing you to choose the color and taste of your food. -Packaging being developed to protect food from the suns UV rays is yet another way it is used in food.
