Michael Crichton's Prey?
Nanoscience and nanotechnology? Not a lot to be honest I'd imagine. Nanoscience seems to be the processes involved in achieving the fabrication of the technology. In general it would be science on the nano scale (10^-9 meters).shimy182 said:
So far we've covered methods of manipulating surface atoms and recording surface properties on the nano scale. Now we have just started on Liquid Crystals.

There wont be a 'big bang' breakthrough when it comes to nano technology - it will simply be a continuation of what we're already seeing.
Lets face it, look at cpu fabrication - we've gone from130nm processes to 90nm process, and i think i read soemwhere that IBM are looking into a 30nm process.
Sooner or later things like CPUs will have portions built with 'bottom-up' nano-technology, rather than 'top down' lithography, but at the end of the day there wont be a big change, as the 'top end' of nano is close to the 'bottom end' of conventional technology....
