The Big Business of Nanotechnology

Abstract:
"Nanotechnology is not a what," says Alan Brown, executive director of the new Pennsylvania NanoMaterials Commercialization Center, "it's a how. It's how we enable existing products to become better -- much better. How we add new features -- antibacterial coatings on hospital walls, for example. That's how nanotechnology is being used. What it means for Pittsburgh is vastly increased research and development, premium prices for the advanced materials we create, higher profits, and far more jobs."
