Project Description

Governments around the world are investing $2 billion in it, private corporations are investing even more, and swarms of venture capitalists have now locked on to it as "the next big thing." Nanotechnology is a field of science that deals with the manipulation of matter at the atomic-level, and it will create more than $1 trillion dollar in new wealth and 800,000 new jobs within the decade. The Next Big Thing Is Really Small (Crown Business, Spring 2003) describes, in a non-scientific manner, what nanotechnology is, how it is going to revolutionize business and what every executive needs to know about this new technology in order to survive "the nanotechnology revolution."
