Major achievements of Nanotechnology:
The major achievements of nanotechnology are much talked
about and even more is expected from them in future. Nanoscience has emerged as a scientific discipline over the
past several years. It developed as part of chemistry, physics and biology
before it broke away as a branch of its own. It continues to make widespread use
of the natural sciences.
Development work still at an early stage
Not all business activity in nanotechnology needs to be directly
connected to nanoscience, since new applications can be transferred into
everyday use without rediscovering the wheel. Just as in the case of window
glass, achievements in nanotechnology will be exploited in products that already
exist. These can be made smaller, for example, or engineered to consume less
energy. "The majority of people will never be able to distinguish the
subtleties of nanotechnology, because they're hidden inside the equipment",
a comment.
