Abstract:
To a culture raised on glitzy superheroes and infatuated with Harry Potter, science has always seemed more like the grandmother who gives you socks for your birthday. Generous, certainly, but practical to a fault. That may be about to change with the emergence of nanotechnology, a science that promises miracles heretofore not dreamt of. And with the recent launch of UPN's sci-fi adventure "Jake 2.0" it has gained a human face.
