My friends at the Bankinter Foundation have been kind enough to invite me again to the Future Trends Forum, this time focused on the emerging and amazing field of nanotechnology. Under the crisp and chilling sky of Madrid, we're having the privilege to learn about the "world of the tiny" from some of the world's scientific leaders. For starters, scientists don't seem to agree as to whether this whole nano-frenzy is indeed a new scientific discipline, or just another sexy label for the same old thing physicists and chemists have been doing for years. Leaving their turfs aside, it appears to me that we're venturing into an amazing world of possibilities... the applications that are being envisioned in material science, electronics, energy or health care are just mind-boggling! Prof. Feynman saw it all coming back in '59 when he predicted "there's plenty of room at the bottom"... I wonder if he even imagined what was about to come.
