Nanotechnology is a field of science and technology that deals with the manipulation of matter at the atomic and molecular scale, typically involving particles or structures with dimensions of less than 100 nanometers. At this scale, materials can exhibit unique properties and behaviors due to quantum mechanics and surface effects. Nanotechnology has applications in various fields including medicine, electronics, energy production, materials science, and environmental remediation, among others. It holds the potential to revolutionize industries by enabling the development of new materials, devices, and systems with enhanced performance and functionalities.
Nanotechnology Quotes
1. “Nanotechnology in medicine is going to have a major impact on the survival of the human race.”
— Bernard Marcus
2. “Nanotechnology has been moving a little faster than I expected, virtual reality a little slower.”
— Nick Bostrom
3. “Nanotechnology is the idea that we can create devices and machines all the way down to the nanometer scale, which is a billionth of a meter, about half the width of a human DNA molecule.”
— Paul McEuen
4. “We have artificial intelligence, virtual reality, augmented reality, 3D-printing, robotics and nanotechnology that have changed the face of modern medicine. It is essential for Indian doctors to familiarise themselves with the latest developments to be able to control technology and not the other way around.”
— Tamilisai Soundararajan
5. “Nanotechnology will let us build computers that are incredibly powerful. We’ll have more power in the volume of a sugar cube than exists in the entire world today.”
— Ralph Merkle
6. “I think dry nanotechnology is probably a dead-end.”
— Rudy Rucker
7. “Protein engineering is a technology of molecular machines – of molecular machines that are part of replicators – and so it comes from an area that already raises some of the issues that nanotechnology will raise.”
— K. Eric Drexler
8. “When a nanotech company matures and becomes a real business, it becomes something else. It becomes a biotech company or a cleantech company or a memory chip company. Nanotechnology has fueled the core innovations in electronics and energy.”
— Steve Jurvetson
9. “In 1998, I set up and directed a research group at the Nanotechnology Institute newly created in the Research Center of Karlsruhe. This allowed to offer to former post-doctoral coworkers the opportunity to develop and to progressively set up independent research activities in nanoscience and nanotechnology.”
— Jean-Marie Lehn
10. “If we can reduce the cost and improve the quality of medical technology through advances in nanotechnology, we can more widely address the medical conditions that are prevalent and reduce the level of human suffering.”
— Ralph Merkle
11. “The pace and demands in any field, be it genetics, nanotechnology or cosmology, can only be met with increased international cooperation and collaborative projects.”
— Priyamvada Natarajan
12. “In thinking about nanotechnology today, what’s most important is understanding where it leads, what nanotechnology will look like after we reach the assembler breakthrough.”
— K. Eric Drexler
13. “People don’t want to believe that technology is broken. Pharmaceuticals, robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology – all these areas where the progress has been a lot more limited than people think. And the question is why.”
— Peter Thiel
14. “Likewise nanotechnology will, once it gets under way, depend on the tools we have then and our ability to use them, and not on the steps that got us there.”
— K. Eric Drexler
15. “Nanotechnology is an idea that most people simply didn’t believe.”
— Ralph Merkle
16. “Nanotechnology is manufacturing with atoms.”
— William Powell
17. “I think gene therapy and nanotechnology go hand in hand.”
— Liz Parrish
18. “Today, billions of mobile devices with extraordinary power are uniting with advancements in robotics artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, and so much more.”
— Steve Mollenkopf
