The development of so-called 'nanocomposites' - made by combining nanoparticles with other materials - has become a hot topic these days, offering the possibility of new applications which until recent years were not thought possible.

Jonathan speaks with nanotechnology expert Mária Omastová of the Slovak Academy of Sciences about these interesting developments.
