| Nanotechnology | This is a science that studies ways to control
individual atoms and molecules Nanotechnology research is booming. There are
many fields where nanotechnology will certainly produce dramatic results.
Methods of manufacturing products are sure to be affected as nanotechnology
finds ways to form raw materials into new products without the cutting,
grinding, and firing methods that are used in today’s manufacturing plants.
Implications for the medical field are mind-boggling, as researchers consider
ways to control disease with nanotechnology robots called nano-bots.
Nanotechnology has already produced wrinkle-free and stain-resistant fabrics,
food packaging that keeps meat fresh longer and self-cleaning windows. It is
possible that in the future nanotechnology could produce nanobots that could
eat up cancer cells.
