In our world we are surrounded by Nanotechnology, and most people have no clue what nanotechnology even is. Most people think that its another form of technology that's man-made like our laptops, cell phones or other stuff, but in fact, nanotechnology refers to technology that is manipulated on a molecular level, rather than what we see in front of our eyes. Nanotechnology helps create things much smaller like stronger sunscreen, or corrosion resistant plants, so on other words, nanotechnology is used for enhancing and strengthening things in our modern world today.
One of the biggest movies that nanotechnology has been included in is Ant Man. In the movie, the doctors are talking amongst each other and discussing about using a shrink-ray, hence the Ant Man. The technology is in the suit that Ant Man wears, which allows him to shrink down to the size of an ant, and back and forth from both sizes whenever it is needed. However, he also has the powers to shrink down to the size of an atom, and enter the quantum realm, which he ends up doing near the end of the movie, which is where the scientists speak about the technology they're using being even smaller than "Nano".
One way that nanotechnology is being included today is in the world of sports. I read that nanotechnology is being added into the tennis rackets, to increase power and control over the ball from the athlete using it. This got me intrigued because this could be added into many other sports, like golf or volleyball or even basketball. Such as, volleyball and basketball, adding extra stitching or complex designs in the leather of the balls to increase power/speed and accuracy over the ball. In my opinion, nanotechnology could in fact be the next big thing in sports, and could take the sports we athletes play today to the next level.
