The Nano Revolution

Welcome to the Nano Revolution. It’s a universe where scientists explore matter on a scale 80,000 times smaller than a human hair. It’s a gigantic global laboratory where scientists converge from all disciplines and dedicate themselves to observing and manipulating the smallest particles in the natural world.Thirty-five years ago, new microscopes first opened the doors to this new dimension and allowed scientists to begin moving individual atoms and molecules. This science of the miniscule is already opening up a new world of possibilities.Nanotechnology has been called, “the next technological revolution.” It is said to provide groundbreaking solutions to the most serious problems that threaten our future — it promises faster computers, improved security, longer and healthier lives, and a cleaner earth.
