Making Stuff..

Making Stuff Smaller:
Q:Why can't transister's get any smaller?
A:They can't get any smaller because now they are packed in just about as close as they possibly can.

Making Stuff Cleaner:
Q:How could meliting down plastic be useful?
A:By heating them down for three hours in a closed environment, the plastic can be turned into nano-tubes, which can be used for rechargable phone batteries, and other things.

Making Stuff Stronger:
Q:Why is kevlar so strong?
A:Kevlar is so strong because of the general makeup of the product, and because of the tight weave.  It is so strong that it will bend the tip of a knife if the person is strong enough.

Making Stuff Smarter:
Q:Why does the gecko adhesive stick to walls, but it isn't sticky when you touch it?
A:The gecko adhesive is sticky to walls because when put on walls, it is weighed down, which causes friction and allows the object to hold on to the wall.  Once it has done this, the only way to get it off is to lift up.
