Looking at the Future through Nanotechnology

Purvesh Kansara

Abstract


Looking at the Future through Nanotechnology is a dissertation on the enormous potential of nanotechnology in the future of every field, research and industry present. This article especially focusses on the fields of Health, Environment and Warfare since they are constantly a hot topic of debate among many research groups. A formal definition given by National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) states that nanotechnology is the understanding and control of matter at dimensions between 1 and 100 nanometers where unique phenomena enable novel application. This article seeks to present the dichotomy of nanotechnology-- the promise it offers in the future, and its potential for grave destruction through ignorance and misuse.
