Nanotechnology: Scientists Pin Big Hopes on a Small Scale
Abstract:
Nanotechnology, which is being developed for use in a number of industries, may have large payoffs for space applications and exploration missions.
"There is definite progress being made," said Meyya Meyyappan, director of the Center for Nanotechnology at the NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif. From the basic research five or six years ago, he said, "we have actually started making some widgets."
