Abstract

Nanotechnology fundamentally embraces the science and engineering issues encountered at the nanometre length scale. It promises more for less: smaller, cheaper, lighter and faster devices with greater functionality, using less material and consuming less energy. “Any industry (or country) that fails to investigate the potential of nanotechnology, and put in place its own strategy for dealing with it, is putting its business at risk”.
