NaturalNano Featured on Fox News Network's Fox Report

Segment Explores Promising New Technologies Utilizing Natural Nanotubes

ROCHESTER, N.Y., March 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NaturalNano, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: NNAN; FWB: N3N), a company whose primary business is discovering, refining, and marketing naturally occurring nanomaterials, announced today that the Company was featured in a news segment highlighting the many potential applications of its nanotubes technologies. The segment first aired nationally on Fox News Network's "The Fox Report with Shepard Smith" on Wednesday, March 15, 2006.

NaturalNano is described as a company with a unique nanotechnology that has the potential to change communications, medication, "and just about everything else we do."

The interviews for the segment, conducted by Fox News reporter Erik Liljegren, took place at the Cornell Center for Materials Research, an institution affiliated with Cornell University. Using the Keck microscope, a specialized electron microscope capable of nanoscale resolutions, viewers observed a single nanotube whose size is measured in the billionths of a meter. NaturalNano entered into a research and development collaboration with Cornell in 2005.

Also featured for the segment was Dr. Emmanuel P. Giannelis, Ph.D., the Walter R. Reed Professor of Engineering and Director of Materials Science and Engineering at Cornell University. Dr. Giannelis, a member of NaturalNano's Scientific Advisory Board, is internationally recognized as a pioneer and one of the leading experts in polymer nanocomposites. During the on-air interview, Dr. Giannelis discusses nanotechnology and composites in the context of the power of naturally occurring materials, and the tremendous opportunities these represent.
