Nanotech and LU From Saturday's issue of The Economist: When [U.S. President] George Bush signed the National Nanotechnology Initiative into law last month, he boosted America's investment in a nascent technology that has been hyped for years. There is talk of a market value of $2 trillion by 2015, from perhaps as little as $1 billion today. David Bishop of the New Jersey Nanotechnology Consortium defines [nanotechnology] broadly as "devices, structures or systems with characteristics, features or parts on a nanoscale" -- that is, less than one billionth of a meter. In America, corporate giants such as General Electric, Motorola, DuPont and Lucent are now pursuing nanotech.
