(NHI Nanoblog) So, The Fracking Song” it’s not. But as music about nanotechnology goes, Nano Techno” is a nice two-minute diversion.

The composer is Michael Wilson, aka Coma Niddy,” who works as an educator at the New York Hall of Science (he also has a cute blog, called Coma Niddy’s Brainspot”).

The song mostly focuses on the promise of nanotechnology, like cancer treatments using nano-sized gold particles. But it also gives a quick shout-out to the great responsibility” of safe development, alluding to the safety and health questions being raised about the super-small materials.
