Your plates, your clothes, and your house clean themselves. You have an artificial immune system and are impervious to HIV and Ebola, you are 50 but always look and feel 25, and on Halloween, you morph your body into a Klingon. The things around you are now built out of superstrong diamond, have unlimited computing power, and their moving parts are just a few atoms wide. Polluting industries are gone. The Earth is green.
Life is different .
IBM spelled out their own logo by nudging around 35 individual Xenon atoms with a new invention that can actually see and move matter at the atomic level - a landmark for things to come. M any people think of nanotechnology when they see the tiny etched silicon machines made with chip fabrication techniques. New nanometer ferric powders used for higher density hard drives or DNA sensors on a chip are also called nanotechnology. It is about building whole molecular machine systems, designed on computer, using standard well understood laws of chemistry with something called molecular assemblers. Computers reproduce information at almost no cost.
