The Nanotechnology revolution

The future tech revolution

Imagine a world were we would have total control over the structure of matter, arranging it in any form conceivable, a world without energy limitations, without hunger and where defects and malfunctions in our own body could be easily corrected. Well utopia aside predictions indicate that by 2015 the global market for nanotechnology will be around 1 trillion $! This will be a major shift in not only the global economy but also in every aspect of our society. Experts claim that this will the 2nd Industrial Revolution. The first steps towards this revolution are happening now! Shouldn't you be preparing for this change?
So being a science "geek" involved in nanotechnology I decided to dedicate my first lens to this exciting new field. In it you will find resources not only for the scientifically inclined but also for laymen and especially business people (we science geeks need your money;)).
So make good use of the content of this lens so we can all prosper in this brave new world of nanotechnology.

Note: All the money made in this lens will be directed to my coffee fund that will be directly converted in scientific production in the field of nanotechnology. So by buying stuff you will be actively promoting the advance of nanotech!
