The technology of tomorrow may be generated less by biotechnology itself than by nanotechnology, especially in the way that biotechnology and human nature work together. Nanotechnology holds tremendous promise. It refers to the manipulation of very small-scale matter; a nanometer is one billionth of a meter, and nano is generally used to mean work on matter at 100 nanometers and smaller. Just think that a human hair is only around 100,000 nanometers across. Many areas of science and many products are affected by nanotechnology. Already, many sunscreens contain nano-particles, and nano-materials are available that have unique properties to resist stains. Nanotechnology also presents moral and ethical issues as its uses include warfare, medical treatments and chemical compounds. In this free video series, the director of the California Institute of Nanotechnology will explain nanotechnology and its impact on space exploration, sports equipment, cancer treatment, artificial intelligence, warfare and computers. Nanotechnology is already present in many products available today. Watch this free video series and discover if some of these products may already be in your home.
