explain why nanotechnology is so important,and what positive effects would it have on society or my homelife.
Nanotechnology is absolutely fascinating. Mike Teder and Sanjiv Gambhir uncovered for us a new submicroscopic world about to uncover before our eyes in the very near future.It was also interesting to see the breakthroughs we make in the US, as a result of our innovative and entrepenurial spirit. We as a free society, never stop, always wanting to open another door. It never ends.
Oops. Fascinating, not facinating.
