Nanotechnology: Reality or Hype?
What is nanotechnology? What makes nanoscale objects unique? Why do some people think they will revolutionize the world, while others warn they might take over? Is any of it for real, or is it all just hype? Join us as we learn about the science and technology of “nano,” from the methods for making and studying nanoscale objects, to their applications. Then explore how nanotech has been used in science fiction, with examples from both books and television.
