With hydrogen a leading contender for green fuel of the future, nanotechnologists have discovered that carbon nano-tubes (CNTs) are likely to be used as either catalysts or catalyst additives.

the CNTs are loaded with nano-particles of Rhodium a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide gases can be converted into ethanol. Another small step on the path away from fossil fuel dependency.

Although the editors of this website are dedicated to advancing our knowledge of precious metals and their production to provide profitable opportunities we would be foolish to ignore other investment situations that have potential.

In this case we believe that the next major steps forward in research that will be beneficial to mankind will be in the field of nanotechnology. Although still in its infancy there are strong indications that nanotechnology developments will create far-reaching changes to our habitat and lifestyles.

We hope our readers will not object if we enthuse about this subject from time to time in the interests of putting ideas forward that may offer profit potential to those that are inspired to research our suggestions in depth.

In the meantime it is reported that Wall Street is waking up to the possibilities, wish we could say you saw it here first!

In the wake of this weeks ratifying of the Kyoto protocol by Australia and the promises to cut back on greenhouse gas emissions there is optimism that the country’s restrictive controls on uranium mining and exploration will be loosened.

a new political party in power and a new prime minister calling for change, it is likely that pressure will be put on those states that are holding back or prohibiting mining in order that the nation can take advantage of its huge deposits of uranium as the world gradually turns to nuclear power.
