CAN YOU IMAGINE living in a world with cures to all physical diseases, the ability to reverse aging, limitless wealth and resources and fulfillment of all dreams allowed by the laws of physics? Such is the promise of nanotechnology – not today, but in our lifetime.

Nanotechnology will be focused on the manufacturing of matter at the molecule level in order to replicate matter of all sorts. In no field is there more wonder than in the area of medicine and genetics – nanomedicine – the focus of this web site. Can you imagine the creation of the perfect race – free from defects and in perfect health? It is a hotly debated topic, and the possibilities are getting closer. If the recent success in cloning mammals has sent chills down spines, the potential for Nanotechnology may be almost unthinkable.

So What is Nanotechnology?


Nanotechnology, or what could more specifically be termed molecular nanotechnology or molecular manufacturing, is the anticipated ability to inexpensively fabricate complex devices, both large and small, with precise control over the arrangement of the individual atoms that constitute the device. Estimates are that this technology will arrive sometime in the next 15 to 30 years. Such devices will make possible novel activities; for example, true and general molecular repair of biological tissues.
