Description:

Imagine being part of the next great technological revolution that will virtually change almost every aspect of your life! Nanotechnology studies the creation, methods, and application of materials that are smaller than one, one billionth of a meter; that is, less that one sixth the thickness of a normal human hair. Applications already include medical imaging, cosmetics, car wax, and fabric for stain-free clothing, just to name a few. The Federal Government considers nanotechnology such a high priority that it has allocated significant resources, under the National Nanotechnology Initiative (www.nano.gov) to support innovation, research, and the study of potential toxicity.
