	What is Nanotechnology?
		Formulating a roadmap for development of this kind of nanotechnology is now an objective of a broadly based technology roadmap project led by Battelle (the manager of several U.S. National Laboratories) and the Foresight Nanotech Institute.
		The risks of today's nanoscale technologies (nanoparticle toxicity, etc.) cannot be treated the same as the risks of longer-term molecular manufacturing (economic disruption, unstable arms race, etc.).
		It is difficult to say for sure how soon this technology will mature, partly because it's possible (especially in countries that do not have open societies) that clandestine military or industrial development programs have been going on for years without our knowledge.

	NANO PULP and PAPER
		When latest technologies are combined with closeness to markets, low cost labor and consequently low cost raw materials, the industry becomes extremely competitive .
		The Nano Pulp and Paper Company is ready to implement proven nanotechnologies developed at Louisiana Tech and already implemented and used in pharmaceutical nano-encapsulation, microprocessors (nano-reactors), micromechanical equipment (MEMS), and computer process management industries.
		Nano technology uses much smaller scales, of thousandths of micrometer, which allows exploiting new properties of materials connected with their molecular organization and spending less material.

	NANOTECHNOLOGY
		The resultant technology of our 20th century is fantastic, but it pales when compared to what will be possible when we learn to build things at the ultimate level of control, one atom at a time.
		- Nano science and engineering knowledge is exploding worldwide because of the availability of new investigative tools; maturity in the biology, chemistry, engineering, materials and physics disciplines, and interdisciplinary synergism; and financial support driven by emerging technologies and their markets.
		Scientists in all materials and technology disciplines are in avid pursuit of the fabrication and measurement of nanostructures to see where and what kind of interesting new phenomena occur.

		This new technology is believed to have the potential to fundamentally transform the way in which common products are produced by manipulating their component parts on the atomic level.
		Medical applications of technology create a natural support base in a broad cross-section of society, which may be willing to forgo critical analysis of the technology in lieu of perceived benefits.
		Should such technology come available it would not only be sold as a way of monitoring or controlling the behavior of Alzheimer's patients, but may be suggested as a means of controlling or monitoring the behavior of those incarcerated or on parole, those receiving public assistance, school aged children, employees, and even wayward spouses.

	Nanotechnology Is BIG at NIST
		Created, with a University of Colorado colleague, the first Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC), a supercooled collection of atoms that coalesces into the equivalent of a single “super atom.” The BEC has enabled development of prototype atom lasers, and it is a critical component of several approaches to building a quantum computer.
		The new detectors are based on superconducting, transition-edge-sensor, microcalorimeter technology, which absorbs the heat from incoming photons and produces an electrical signal proportional to the absorbed energy.
		Established with the aim of advancing enabling technologies key to ultrahigh-density data storage, this laboratory is one of the world’s most elaborately instrumented facilities for preparing and evaluating magnetic thin films.
