Description
Nanotechnology: The World Beyond Micro explores the world of nano dimensions and a growing number of engineered nanomaterials. The video looks at how the property of materials changes due to the effects of a high surface to volume ratio and quantum mechanics. Viewers are taken to industrial sites to see the large-scale production of carbon nanotubes and the production of specialized Kentera polymers in nano-enhanced composites. We also see how gold...

Description
K. Eric Drexler is the founding father of nanotechnology-the science of engineering on a molecular level. In Radical Abundance, he shows how rapid scientific progress is about to change our world. Thanks to atomically precise manufacturing, we will soon have the power to produce radically more of what people want, and at a lower cost. The result will shake the very foundations of our economy and environment. Already, scientists have constructed prototypes...
Description
For centuries, scientists and engineers have been making things bigger and better. Now some scientists are trying to make things smaller and better in hopes of solving some of the world's biggest problems. These scientists and engineers are working in specialties of micro engineering and nanotechnology to develop microscopic and atom-sized solutions in fields such as medicine, environmental pollution, and information technology.
