As always, we were careful to exclude products using nanotechnology as little more than marketing fluff. We focused on items where nanotechnology is significantly improving a process or product.
Like last year's guide, Top 10 Nanotech Products of 2004, our 2005 guide shows significant new developments in the sports, cosmetics and textile industries.
Thanks to nano-encapsulation, the food industry is also developing a taste for nanotechnology, as you will see in the slide show, including a chocolate-flavored chewing gum as well as a wide array of fat-free products.
