Nanotechnology in Tennis Racquets

There is a very interesting article in this week's Business Week, whose cover story is on nanotechnology.

Throughout 2005, companies large and small will be rushing more nano-based products from labs to the marketplace. Consumers will encounter nanotechnology in the form of nick-proof trims on Hummers, Wilson tennis racquets with extra pop, even golf balls designed to fly straight.

In fact, "Nano-size silicon dioxide crystals help power this Wilson nSixOne tennis racquet."
