So many ‘unknowns’ and ‘imponderables’ are just the fallout
of our lack of knowledge about them. When fire, as an element in human life, was
discovered or when the wheel was invented or when the steam engine was developed,
they were there in the nature and the things nature has offered to us. What created
history were those spirits of curiosity and the time of dawning of that knowledge
and the capability to produce and use them. Same is true with Nano science and nanotechnology.
Nothing here is new, only our enhanced capacity to manipulate what is already there.
Molecular manipulation or manipulation of the components and structure of the matter
at the nano scale. This is what nano science is and this is how nanotechnology is
not a surprise. It’s a predictable process if the basics are clear.
