Nano Future

Well, how about the probability that nanotechnology is the future? With the study of nano-size particles, devices, and composites, we will find ways to make stronger materials, detect diseases in the bloodstream, build extremely tiny machines, generate light and energy, and purify water.

In the business and investing world, the changes nanotechnology will bring in the next few decades will change the way people consume things — and, if you hadn’t heard yet, we do live in a consumer society, which means that businesses and investors are more than slightly interested in technologies set to revolutionize the manufacturing of consumer goods. Fabrics in our clothing will become stronger and more stain-resistan — and keep us warmer. Cosmetics will gain skin-healing properties to keep us looking younger. TV flat-panel displays will become crisper, and solar cells will become more cost-effective. Drugs will have fewer side effects, as nanotechnology helps your body absorb them more completely and quickly.


In fact, there is probably not a walk of life that won’t be affected by nanotechnology eventually.
