While it doesn't garner as many column inches as other industries - probably because it still seems like sci-fi to most people - the nanotechnology industry continues to expand out of the lab and into practical applications. Nanotechnology, the creation and use of devices that are between one and 100 nanometers wide (a nanometer is a billionth of a meter), is today worth an estimated $24 billion ...
