This may be as useful as the Ice Cream Glove idea proposed by Ali G – but it seems that you can now get your hands in the nano-engineered Touch-Tech Glove that enables you to operate your iPhone – or any capacitive touch screen, such as ATM machines.

Developed by amateur inventor Jerry Leto, TouchTec gloves use nano-impregnated textiles–including real leather–to mimic the capacitive properties of the human hand. In other word, you don’t even need to have your hand in them to use them.

Want to keep your neighbor from snooping on your WiFi signal (which is downloading an adult video from an illegal bittorrent site)?

Fear not – nanotechnology is to the rescue!

NaturalNano has developed a spray coating paint that can block high frequency radio signals, such as those used by your WiFi equipment (usually 2.4Ghz). This passive blocking of Radio Frequency signals (RF) has a variety of applications, including movie theaters who need a legal way of blocking cell phones from ringing during a movie (active signal jammers are illegal).
