Anti Bacterial Socks ??

Who wouldn't want to wear anti-bacterial socks ? I know I would ! Researchers say that this is possible all because of a particle called nanoparticles, they say that the particles have an intent to kill things; these things specifically being bacteria. The researchers from Duke University have now said that the nanoparticles are being used for more realistic things than antibacterial socks and underwear. They are now trying to use the nanoparticles to help boost the emissions of greenhouse gases.

This topic is related to science/biology because scientists tried this particle on plants and at the end of the experiment, they came up with the conclusion that the plants with the nanoparticles added to them had a lower microbial population. This new attack on green house emissions is science itself. It has all to do with gases and particles.

People would want to know about this because although many know about socks and underwear, we need to save the planet as a whole. Our entire ecosystem needs this. Any little thing that can bring us closer to rebuilding our planet and restoring its liveliness in needed, even if it is a ultra fine particle.
