Compare the vastness of the Internet with the microminiaturized world of subatomic structures, and you will get an idea of the potential that nanotechnology holds for industrial profit. Some analysts are predicting nanotechnology will become the biggest boost to the technology industry since the World Wide Web. Nanotechnology is the science of creating products from components less than 100 nanometers in size. Put into perspective, that measures less than one-billionth of a meter.
