Materials and Manufacturing. Nanotechnology will fundamentally change the way we produce materials, giving us the ability to assemble nanoscale building blocks into larger structures with unique properties and functions. Aeronautics and Space Exploration. Moreover, advanced materials developed through nanotechnology will meet the strength, weight, and thermal stability requirements of space planes, rockets, and space stations. Environment and Energy.
Nanotechnology has the potential to improve dramatically our environment and energy use.
Nanosensors could be used to monitor and clean up environmental problems and to control emissions from a range of sources. Return to Top References Feynman, Richard P. 1959. There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom. Computer and Engineering News. May 25, 1998.
