Kristen Kulinowski: clean, green, and unseen
"Materials made at nanoscale can show new properties that the larger scale components don't exhibit," says Kulinowski. "For example, we might find that a nanoscale titanium dioxide, a sunscreen ingredient, is transparent, whereas the larger scale compound is whitish and opague." (Credit: Aine D..

Kristen Kulinowski is Executive Director of the Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology at Rice University.
She was one of a panel of experts who explored what nanotechnology means to the consumer – and the environment – in a Fred Friendly Seminars series being broadcast on public television stations in 2008. The series title is Nanotechnology: The Power of Small. EarthSky’s Jorge Salazar spoke with Kulinowski.
