Such upgrades in these everyday use items are due to the “Self-Cleaning Technology” a wonder of Nano-Technology (Manipulation of atoms and molecules at a nanoscale). Nanotechnology has been a hot topic for researchers in materials engineering, electrical engineering, physics, and much more on for a couple of decades now. This technology is doing wonders and maybe is going to change this world in the coming time. In addition, the speed with which this technology is growing and giving breakthroughs every day maybe our generation or the next generation will be able to witness the “Future”.

This branch of science may seem a little boring, time-consuming, even for some people it is a waste of time but some people study this field, spend their lives exploring the universe. Then there comes a guy who is an actor, writer, a TV show host and an Astrophysicist “Neil Degrasse Tyson”. He is a great science communicator, most of his published books are best sellers. Yes, he is a scientist yet he is one of the most influential people on Earth. This guy instead of being popular for some scientific achievement is popular for his ability to popularize science. He is a philosopher and not an ordinary philosopher but he makes people love Astronomy and make people love science and accept it. “Welcome to the Universe: An Astro...
