Nanotechnology is the study and application of systems at the
molecular and atomic level. It includes research,
observation, measurement and manipulation at or near the
nanometer range—one billionth meter.
Applications for nanoscale materials are already in the
market place with an exponential increase expected over the next
decade. Some of these applications include pants that shed
stains, socks that don’t smell and self-healing paint for cars.
The National Science Foundation is
forecasting a need for one to two million trained nanoscience
workers in the next decade.
