Nanotechnology Could Make Barbecues at the Jersey Shore More Relaxing

The process is called RNA interference or RNAi.
When fully developed, this research has numerous possibilities under the current design. It would reduce the amount of harmful chemicals used around the home and in the yard. It would create a safer and pest free environment for children and pets Think of the applications it could have in farming and live stock. No more harmful pesticides in the produce or livestock feed. I personally wonder if this could delete an entire species of pest all together. Could this be the breakthrough we have been looking for to make organic and healthy foods more affordable to everyone? The article does not talk about estimated costs to produce the product for commercial and private use. Anyone who has hosted or attended a barbecue in the summer at the jersey shore knows a product like this will be almost as loved as the jersey corn on their plate.
