Abstract
This article provides a global overview of the emerging fields of nanoscale science, engineering, and technology. Nanotechnology spending in different countries andits importance inindustrial revolution are highlighted. As the 21st century unfolds, nanotechnology’s impact on the health, wealth, and security of the world’s people is expected to be at least as significant as the combined influences in this century of antibiotics, integrated circuits, and other advanced materials.
