Nanotech Manufacturers

I’ve been wondering what nanotechnology is, what it does, and what it accomplishes. The only displays of nanotech that I have seen have been in comic books and sci-fi movies/tv shows. Does it really form on it’s own to make weapons and other appliances? Can it respond on its own or does someone need to control it? What can it do and accomplish? Is it stable or not? Has the technology been approved by the government and/or perfected?

Personal Nanofactory

I read in wikipedia that “At the smallest scales, mechanical engineering becomes nanotechnology…”. So, can I study Mechanical Engineering and then go in for nanotechnology?

Nanotechnology is my main interest. If there are other undergraduate courses after which I can do postgraduation in nanotechnology, please let me know. Thanks a lot!

National Nanotechnology Initiatives

One of the predominant features of nano-materials is an extremely high surface area. Emerging Science joins Chris Landry, professor of chemistry at the University of Vermont, as he describes how nanotechnology applications are improving the efficacy of cancer drugs by delivering more medicine to patients.
