Think very small: from nanotubes to quantum dots, nanotechnology presents great opportunities for Indiana.
IN "THE PLACES THAT nature works," on a scale so small that even standard microscopes can't allow us to see, there's a looming building boom that may change the way we live our everyday lives.
That's the promise of nanotechnology, which is generally defined as new procedures and devices being built at less than 100 nanometers, each being one millionth of a millimeter. While it is difficult to imagine such a size, a DNA molecule has a diameter of about 2.5 nanometers and the diameter of a human hair is roughly 80,000 nano...See the full content of this document
