Why nanotechnology will arrive sooner than expected.

An article condensed from the spring 2002 issue of Futures Research Quarterly. The tools required for achieving the aims of nanotechnology are developing at increasing rates. Scientists now have the devices to play with nature's building blocks, and they are using them to begin grasping how differ...

      ab: An article condensed from the spring 2002 issue of Futures Research Quarterly. The tools required for achieving the aims of nanotechnology are developing at increasing rates. Scientists now have the devices to play with nature's building blocks, and they are using them to begin grasping how different molecules adhere to one another and how cells operate. This understanding will permit future entrepreneurs to construct new materials and allow doctors and health-care professionals to combat disease at the molecular level. New sources of venture capital, adventurous governments, and strong competition herald a major revolution for nanotechnology. The writer outlines the reasons why nanotechnology will arrive faster than previously expected.
