Nanotechnology?
I’ve been wondering what nanotechnology is, what it does, and what it accomplishes. The only displays of nanotech that I have seen have been in comic books and sci-fi movies/tv shows.
Nanotechnology – What is it?

Great Things Come in Small Packages – Nanotechnology and Energy
If current news is any indication, Nanotechnology is poised to play a significant role in the development of clean, less expensive energy. The potential of nanotechnology for solving some of today’s greatest energy challenges is vast.
Nanotechnology refers broadly to a field of applied science and technology whose unifying theme is the control of matter on the molecular level in scales smaller than one micrometer, normally 1 to 100 nanometers, and the fabrication of devices within that size range. For scale, a single virus particle is about 100 nanometers in width.
Encompassing nanoscale science, engineering and technology, nanotechnology involves imaging, measuring, modeling, and manipulating matter at this length scale.”

Nanotechnology Takes Off – KQED QUEST
From Lawrence Berkeley National Labs to Silicon Valley, researchers are manipulating particles at the atomic level, ushering in potential cures for cancer, clothes that don’t stain, and solar panels as thick as a sheet of paper. www.kqed.org
