As Nanotechnology gains momentum, many are starting projects to raise awareness in the general community, not only about the field, but the importance of nanotechnology. The National Nanotechnology Initiative, supported by the government, sought to do this by creating a student video project wherein college age researchers could present their research projects in a way that the general audience could understand and appreciate.
Its first prize winners were Abelardo Colon and Jennifer Gill for their video on the application nanodiamond powder for the purification of water. Their proposal for nanodiamond purification or water was a solution to the chlorination process used today that creates harmful byproducts. Their method was more effecient at killing bacteria, was reusable, and did not cause such harmful byproducts as the methods currently used. (Source)
