What Is Nanoscience And How Will It Shape Our Future? [Video]

Here’s a fascinating and easy to digest video looking at the emerging field of nanoscience, narrated by the ubiquitous Stephen Fry.

Nanotechnology and nanoscience are areas I’d like to begin to address on this blog, as they relate to how they could shape our future. This seems like a good place to start.

As the video outlines, nanoscience is the study of phenomena and manipulation of materials at a very, very small scale: nanoscale.

As nanotechnlogy evolves, a multitude of new materials and devices will be developed. Some may eventually have major implications for the way we live in the world. Nanotechnology has implications for medicine, electronics, biomaterials, energy, and the environment.
