What even is it?
The manipulation of matter on a molecular scale, between 1 and
100 nanometres, ‘Nano’ meaning ‘Dwarf’.

How are they associated?

They look similar
Nanotechnology helps improve sport
The scale between them is the same as a football to
Earth
How are they associated?

Golf Clubs
Nanotechnology allows for lighter yet stronger golf clubs, creating faster swing speeds and a larger sweet spot on the club head.

Tennis Balls
InMat LLC used nanotechnology to produce tennis balls that
could last two times longer on average.

Swimming
The LZR Racer Suit was developed with nanotechnology to be more hydrodynamic. It was banned in 2008 due to the unfair advantage.

Advantages
Enhances the strength-to-weight ratio
Creates a spring-like effectIncreases hardness
Gives longer durabilityHas low friction

Negatives
ExpensiveCompetition can become unfairSport events could depend more on science than fitness or skillCancer related health risks
