He was one of  the first scientists in the field to identify the importance of a  chemical approach to nanostructured materials, driving many of today&#8217;s  nanotechnologies in biology, physics and engineering. Through his  Ontario company Opalux, Ozin is commercializing photonic crystal  technology &#8211; which holds the potential to create full-colour displays  that use dramatically less energy than current products.The company is  also developing food packaging that changes colours when the contents go  bad, photocatalysts that clean up pollution and privacy protecting  printable serial numbers and security codes that can become invisible to  the human eye when necessary.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/nanowizardry.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/PremierAward1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-702\" title=\"PremierAward1\" src=\"http:\/\/nanowizardry.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/PremierAward1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"http:\/\/nanowizard.info\/wp-content\/media\/2010\/05\/PremierAward1.jpg 675w, http:\/\/nanowizard.info\/wp-content\/media\/2010\/05\/PremierAward1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/nanowizardry.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/PremierAward2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-703\" title=\"PremierAward2\" src=\"http:\/\/nanowizardry.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/PremierAward2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"http:\/\/nanowizard.info\/wp-content\/media\/2010\/05\/PremierAward2.jpg 675w, http:\/\/nanowizard.info\/wp-content\/media\/2010\/05\/PremierAward2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/nanowizardry.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/PremierAward31.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-705\" title=\"PremierAward3\" src=\"http:\/\/nanowizardry.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/PremierAward3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"360\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Check out this award video.
