Re: Nanotechnology

*****IN'! Seriously! But...

I need, like, real scientific data about the subject.

Re: Nanotechnology

Basically, nanotechnology is the science of developing extremely small machines, called nanomachines, at an atomic and molecular level (which is pretty damn small), thus being implemented as something of a mecha-molecule.

Nanotechnology is still in it's infancy, however it won't be long before it becomes widespread. Already, it's being implemented in storage medians, greatly amplifying their capacity, among other things, inlcuding surgery. In the distant future, nanomachines could even be used to make buildings that can shapeshift and perform self-maintenance. That's a long way away, granted, but nonetheless.

That's just the tip of the iceberg, though. Personally, I find it a very intriguing field. That greyish pixie dust is cool.

Don't take my word for it; look around yourself. Here's the Answers.com page:

Yup, true. Look at every TV show that featured nanotech as an important part of the story. It always winds up doing something wrong.

Re: Nanotechnology

If I can get links and references to books and articles that'd be spiffy.

And at the moment I can only think of MST3K, Metal Gear Solid and Xenogears that have nanotechology involved.
