For instance, one coating is superhydrophobic which means, as Empedocles tells me, it can make an item so water resistant that water literally bounces off it. This might someday make windshields that never need windshield wipers.

Intel recently signed up as partner. Within year, says Steve Waite, author of Quantum Investing, Nanosys will probably be the first monster nanotech IPO. You might even plastic display that could be rolled up like an issue of Sports Illustrated. Amid all this nanobuzz, there is one company expected to legitimize nanotech as an industry, much the way Genentech showed in the how to make business out of biotech. But something like that is so far away and farfetched, its like worrying about Sony building the Aibo robot dog for fear it will eventually lead to reallife version of The Terminator.

In way, its the material version of genetic crossbreeding.

You want new molecule, Nanosys can do something like that on an atomic level. Really, nothing is likely to slow the emerging nanobubble.

Which is where am in the Nanosys headquarters building. Email Select one HTML Text Nanophiles are keeping their eye on NanosysPALO ALTO, Calif. But something like that on an atomic level. Next thing you know, the nano label will be part of everyday life. One other main area for Nanosys is called thin film electronics, which could make big difference in laptop and cell phone screens. Whether its atomic energy in the space in the biotech in the or the Internet in the mid1990s, were always overly excited about new frontier before we actually there.
