7,862 Views - Click for Larger Image Russian scientist Vladimir Rudenov claims that he has developed a cure for smelly feet which involves the weaving of silver nano-fibers into socks. According to Rudenov: “I used to be a physician. It’s a well-known fact that silver kills most bacteria, and it’s the bacteria that causes smelly feet. So I thought, why not blend nano-particles of silver with socks? And it worked!” Rudenov has sniffed out a lucrative new business via his efforts to snuff out smelly feet and athlete’s foot. These nano-enhanced socks are now sold by his company for around $10 dollars a pair. Click on the video to take a look inside Rudenov’s sock factory. Little by little, ventures involving nano-technology such as this one are beginning to emerge in Russia, encouraged by the success of those that came before them. The economic forecast for this market is expected to reach billions of dollars and Russia is vying to be among its top participants. (inventorspot) Source: russiatoday   Via: inventorspot
