Abstract
Nanostructure science and technology (nanotechnology) is fundamentally changing the way that materials and the structures made from them will be manufactured in the future. Our increasing ability to synthesize and assemble nanoscale building blocks with precisely controlled sizes and chemistries into consolidated nanostructures and nanocomposites with unique properties and functionalities likely will lead to revolutionary changes in industry.
