Fire-like spread of nanomaterials in nanotechnology and applications (Part IV)

摘要

IT may eventually be possible to develop technologies for renewable,clean energy;to replace metals with lightweight,recyclable polymeric nanocomposites;to provide low-cost access to space;and to develop new classes of pharmaceu-ticals.Investments in nanotechnology have the potential- to spawn the growth of future industrial productivity.When allied with the biosciences,nanotechnology will accelerate the development of early detection instruments for physicians,as well as the development of noninvasive diagnosis and medical treatment.It will also lower the cost of pure water and healthy food for the world's population.
