Nanotechnology often inspires images of “science fiction” rather than science. The word conjures visions of technological marvels such as atoms and molecules joining together to create materials hundreds of times lighter yet stronger than steel. This material is used to build “carbon nanotubes,” allowing pod-like crawlers to carry cargo thousands of miles up to a space station. Hollywood caters to the fiction, most recently by portraying Spiderman’s Green Goblin’s alter ego as a nanotechnologist. But remove the artistic license and the business implications of the science offer an equally compelling story.
