What even is it?

The manipulation of matter on a molecular scale, between 1 and

100 nanometres, ‘Nano’ meaning ‘Dwarf’.

How are they associated?

They look similar

Nanotechnology helps improve sport

The scale between them is the same as a football to

Earth

How are they associated?

Golf Clubs

Nanotechnology allows for lighter yet stronger golf clubs, creating faster swing speeds and a larger sweet spot on the club head.

Tennis Balls

InMat LLC used nanotechnology to produce tennis balls that

could last two times longer on average.

Swimming

The LZR Racer Suit was developed with nanotechnology to be more hydrodynamic. It was banned in 2008 due to the unfair advantage.

Advantages

Enhances the strength-to-weight ratio

Creates a spring-like effectIncreases hardness

Gives longer durabilityHas low friction

Negatives

ExpensiveCompetition can become unfairSport events could depend more on science than fitness or skillCancer related health risks
