| Description: | There’s a lot of buzz—nanotechnology is “coming soon.” But what is nanotechnology? Why doesn’t anyone ever explain that? Well, it’s not that easy. While experts agree about the size of nanotechnology—that it’s smaller than a nanometer (that’s one billionth of a meter) they disagree about what should be called nanotechnology and what should not. Looking back at the historical roots of nanotechnology helps us get a better grasp on what nanotechnology is and why it’s important now, and how it will change the world in the future. |
