Nanotechnology promises to make revolutionary contributions.
Within the next few years we can expect to see major improvements. Here are some possibilities of the things to come. Nanostructures, ceramics, polymers, metals, and other materials will have greatly improved mechanical properties. Nanotechnology will enable products to be lighter, stronger, smarter, cheaper, cleaner, and more precise. The ability to synthesize nanoscale building blocks with precisely controlled size and composition and then to assemble them into larger structures with unique properties and functions will revolutionize segments of the materials manufacturing industry.
