Abstract:
Stan Williams likes to think of himself as a true believer, not a fanatic, when it comes to the future of nanotechnology. But he is a realist when it comes to the new products and devices that will emerge from this fascinating world of miniature engineering: he estimates it will take 20 years for the promise of nanotech to be fully realized. In the meantime, scientific developments are transforming nanotechnology from science fiction into reality.
