Description

Nanotechnology is for mankind a long-term research project. It is certainly the science of the future but whether it will bear fruit in the next ten years or the next hundred years nobody knows. But after biotechnology it is certainly where most of the high-risk investment money is heading.

The risk from a grey goo engulfing the world - as prophesied by some - while not impossible is thankfully unlikely as so many safeguards can be built in.

I hope that this book will help to advance the cause of nanotechnology by showing what it can do for mankind.
