The magic of Nanotechnology is mind boggling. Untill the advent of nanotechnology detecting RDX was a near impossibility. One had to do physical check or use sniffer dogs. Both are unreliable. RDX is a very stable chemical compound and hence it is near non volatile. Even when kept in open one would find only parts per million molecules of RDX in air around it. However nanotechnology based detection devices could be made that could change the security scenario completely. Work in this direction is taking place under the national nanotechnology initiative in Indian scientific institutes. 

 In like manner, nanotechnology could revolutionize the electronic industry. Though for past many decades electronic industry has seen components shrinking in size, there is an optimal size below which it is impossible to shrink the conventional electronic components. However, Nanotechnology comes handy whereby one could construct the electronic gadget bottom-up.
 Stunning stories like this make the serial Nano Ki Duniya produced jointly by Vigyan Prasar and Developmental Educational Unit (DECU) ISRO. The 13 part serial would be telecast from September 30, 2007 in DD National (DD- I) between 0900 to 0930 hrs.

 Presented with sleek visuals and racy style the serial would attract the young people in addition to those who are keen to understand this frontier area of science. Rich in animation the serial explains the basics of nanotechnology in accessible language. Topics such as nanotechnology and micro electronics, nanotechnology and agriculture, medicine and so on dealt in the serial. Even while the serial presents the futuristic world possible with the maturity of nanotechnology, the work taking place in our country, the products that have hit the markets find a place in the storyline. Though the serial contains 13 parts, each one are independent in itself covering a particular area of application of nanotechnology.
