This is an excellent example of the benefits available from nanotechnology research! I can't seem to find the article, but there was another excellent example a few months back in Chemical & Engineering News about nano iron oxide particles dispersed in a liquid that when energized would turn from a pourable liquid to a rigid solid. This technology would make good prision clothing. Push one button and every inmate would be instantly imobalized and unable to move.
