Separating Fact from Fiction in Nanotechnology

Separating Fact from Fiction in Nanotechnology

From the Nanoscale & Quantum Phenomena Institute Don’t expect nanotechnology to produce tiny robots with artificial intelligence that devour cancer cells or ropes with Carbon nanotube strands that are strong enough to build a space elevator from Earth to the orbiting stations. These ideas are nothing but hype in the […]
