Abstract
In this extended abstract we describe two areas of science and technology of interest to the present NATO Advanced Research Workshop. (A longer article, with figures and the same title, will be published in a special issue of the Proceedings of the Royal Society.) Both areas explore phenomena on length scales less than the natural length scale of the corresponding bulk systems. In nanocrystals, the bulk length scale is the intrinsic delocalization length of electrons and holes in macroscopic semiconductors. In optics, the length scale is the optical wavelength.
