Since the cool cooking gadgets article has proven itself to be quite interesting, why not continue the interesting story with come cool kitchen gadgets? We’ve seen a couple of things that make the kitchen seem more of a fun room than the “torture chamber” where you have to go and cook meals that take hours and wash the dirty dishes.

Some cool kitchen gadgets can turn out to be more useful than others but either way, it’s nice to know they exist… and maybe they could give you a cool, original and crazy idea for a gift next Christmas. For instance, have you ever heard about Smokey the Silencer? This is nothing more than a cool looking smoking detector remote control which can prevent some nasty smoke alarm noise in cases where people leave the roast in the over and go wandering off to see what’s on TV.

Just place Smokey anywhere in the kitchen (on the fridge would be a good idea) and press the arm so that Smokey can start communicating with your smoke alarm. If you have the bad habit of forgetting about food in the oven, maybe turning off the smoke alarm is not the best idea but in case you have an alarm that goes off at the tiniest sense of smoke, maybe you could save yourself some real headaches.



I love toast. Not only does it taste good, buy you can eat it with almost anything and it’s healthy. This is why I believe a portable toaster is an excellent idea for people that to enjoy something else than a hamburger when it comes to an afternoon snack. The portable toaster is shaped just like a knife except for the fact that when you press it harder on your bread slices it starts heating up things. It even has animated graphics which indicate the level of “toasting” on the slice of bread.  It heats up using some weird nanotechnology which is probably not your main field of interest. It has something to do with carbon tubes that heat up. What really matters is that you get a nice slice of toaster bread in about 2 or 3 minutes. The nasty part is that when you are done with one side, it will probably get cold until the other one is toasted as well.



Another thing I love to eat is pasta. You can cook it in so many ways and add all sorts of different ingredients and what are the chances of going wrong with a delicious pasta and spaghetti sauce no matter what the dinner occasion is? With an integrated LCD panel and an annoying beeper, the pasta timer will allow you to choose from 10 different pasta shapes and sizes and it will let you know when the pasta is cooked just the way you like it. If you remove the LCD, the times can be cleaned even in the washing machine. It takes its power from the battery and it only costs $39.95. A small bargain for a meal as delicious as pasta can be.

Science is an amazing and wonderful thing. It has helped people in more ways than they even realize. If it were not for great scientific advances the healthcare industry, automobile industry and the computer industry would not be where it is today. So what does the future hold for people where science is concerned? Nanotechnology is one of the most pioneering fields today. Within its confines there are worlds of applications that it can be used. You may have thought that it was delegated only to the minds of Science Fiction writers but it is real and it is in use today. This article is designed to help you understand the applications that nanotech has in today’s society. You may be surprised to learn that there is more to it than you might have previously thought.

Why is nanotechnology important?

Everything in our world, from the natural to the manufactured, is composed of atoms and molecules. Nanotechnology research and development offers insights not only to how atoms from together to create substances, but how they can be rearranged to improve upon them. Look at the carbon atom for example. Arranged in one pattern it produces diamond: rare, incredibly hard, transparent and non-conductive. Re-arrange the same carbon atoms differently and you have graphite, a plentiful substance that is soft, opaque, and conductive. Customized molecules are being considered for numerous applications.

How is nanotechnology developed?

Two of the aspects for nanotechnology construction are top down and bottom up approaches. The top down approach focuses of creating nano scale items from a larger piece of material, by means of carving or etching the desired item. A good example is the semiconductor industry’s manipulation of silicon to develop microchips. The bottom up technique relies upon the utilization of chemical and molecular bonds, allowing the product to assemble in an appropriate manner. Both techniques depend upon the scanning electron microscope and the atomic force microscope, which permit visualization and verification of the completed assembly.

How is nanotechnology used in the medical field?

Medical nanotechnology has been come one of the most active fields in research and development. Scientists have already developed several methods to improve patient care, with numerous others just over the horizon. Drug delivery systems that will target only the cells that require the medication will reduce costs while using less medicine. Imaging enhancements will provide more accurate ultrasound and MRI images allowing doctors to identify and treat problems locally. Of particular focus is the promise of improved cancer treatments. Laboratory tests have already been conducted utilizing gold coated nanotubes to destroy cancer cells with harmless infrared radiation.

Is there health risks involved with using nanotechnology?

Nanotechnology is such a young science that health risks are not fully known at this time. Research has been and continues to be conducted to establish toxicity of materials at the nano scale. Concerns have been theorized regarding the ability of nano particles to travel through barriers within the human circulation system, potentially jeopardizing the entire body. Experiments with nanotubes have shown risks of lung tissue scarring in laboratory environments. As with any other new science, testing and evaluation will be required to fully understand the impact of its use.
