best use of nanotechnology yet

Chalk this post up to late night Friday Fun, from c|net:

Buffalo, N.Y.-based NanoDynamics has come up with a golf ball that can correct its ownNano_golf flight path so it flies straighter than conventional balls. The ball won’t shift 45 degrees in midair, but the design of the ball–and the materials it’s made of–serve to better channel the energy received from the club head and thus correct a wobble or slight drift.

“It also behaves much more controllably on a putting surface, which is how we hope to get interest on the pro circuit,” said Keith Blakely, CEO of NanoDynamics. “It has a reduced tendency to break. It doesn’t pop or jump or roll.”

Of course, this is a great technology to be tracked in the new USPTO nanotechnology classification.  Philadelphia Bizjournals has additional information and the discusses the importance of the new nanotechnology classification.
