Nanotechnology building from the bottom and building the bottom line

Abstract

For science, the long-term promise of nanotechnology resides in the natural chemical, physical, and biological systems that underlie materials that comprise the world in which we live. For technology, a field of endeavor that contemplates the elimination of highway potholes, hospital infections, cancerous tumors, superfund cleanups, bad golf shots, window washing, and laundry day is sure to have a future that is long and bright.
