Boosting nanotechnology in Va.
Abstract:
Researchers and high-tech entrepreneurs in Virginia want to foster the growth of nanotechnology, a science performed on a magnitude thousands of times smaller than the thickness of a human hair.
The buzz surrounding nanotechnology isn't just about the science alone, but rather how its manipulation of materials can enhance traditional industries -- from development of alternative energy sources to stronger military armor and improved disease treatments.
