Summary
The nano revolution is a universe where scientists explore matter on a scale 80,000 times smaller than a human hair. Nanotechnology promises groundbreaking solutions to the most serious problems that threaten our future, but it's also a realm that poses serious philosophical, political and ethical questions. Find out how the invisible revolution of nanotechnology is already at work in our lives; get a glimpse of nano devices that could deliver treatment directly to affected cells; and meet scientists who believe that nanotech may be the key to overcoming our environmental problems.
Welcome to Nano City - See how the invisible nano revolution is already at work in our lives--from photocatalytic window coatings that clean themselves to manmade fiber stronger yet lighter than steel.
More than Human - With nanotechnology medicine could evolve from treating disease to a practice that is predictive, personalized and preemptive.
Will Nano Save the Planet? - Environmental problems might be solved by nano solar cells, clean fuel additives, contaminant remediation, but are we creating pollutants more dangerous than the ones we already have?
