I've seen the "small motors", buckytubes and stuff discussed -- show me a commercial product. It is true -- the thing is -- nano is a "catch-phrase" popularized by those awarding government contracts for scientific research.

There is a very good rebuttal on the whole issue that appeared in Sci Am about 2-3 years ago -- so far what the fellow has stated has proved to be 99% accurate. There are natural chemical limitations to what can be done on small scale.

If I can find it, I'll scan it and post it -- it is really worthwhile reading for any one who would consider "investing" in "nano" desiring "macro" returns. I'm not saying you can't flip some penny stocks and make a few $s.

Some of the dreams of "self-assembling" nano-machinery are just plain laughable to anybody with a physics background.
Biotech holds 100 times more promise.
