Why Nano?

Affordable clean energy, highly effective medical devices, personalized drugs, new environmental cleanup techniques...Many scientists and engineers believe advances in nanotechnology can bolster the U.S. economy with products like these and many others.

Despite this promise, the public knows little about nanotechnology or the research and development being carried out by numerous federal agencies and by universities and corporations right in their own communities.
