Nano and Nanotechnology, Graphene, Hydrogen gas, Methane gas, Prototype, Efficiency, KWh, TWh, PPM:

Nano: Nanotechnology (”nanotech”) is manipulation of matter on an atomic, molecular, and supramolecular scale. Nanotech will change the world in many ways, probably more than transistors, laser etc, and Nanotech will be an enormous Game Changer.

Graphene: Graphene, a nanotech material, is an allotrope of carbon in the form of a two-dimensional, atomic-scale, honey-comb lattice in which one atom forms each vertex. Graphene has many extraordinary properties. It is 100 times stronger than the strongest steel.

Efficiency: Efficiency is very often confused with effectiveness. In general, efficiency is a measurable concept, quantitatively determined by the ratio of useful output to total input.

Prototype: A prototype is an early sample, model, or release of a product built to test a concept or process or to act as a thing to be replicated or learned from.

KWh: Kilowatt-hour is commonly used as a billing unit for energy delivered to consumers by electric utilities. E. g. one KWh gives the electrical power to spread the light of a 10 W bulb for 100 hours.

TWh: One TWh is one billion KWh.

PPM: Parts per million (ppm).

PPB: Parts per billion (ppb).
