The concept of nanotechnology used to belong to the world of science fiction, but if you review the links below you will see that nanotechnology has joined the world of real science. Never fear though, because the imaginations of science fiction writers can always outrun reality. In case your vision is too macroscopic, nanotechnology is the science of building very small machines. The ultimate goal of nanotechnology is for these small machines to be self replicating. The reason why science fiction is so fascinated with nanotechnology is all the speculation about what these microscopic machines could do. Imagine being injected with nanomachines that cruise around in your blood to repair you body. Greg Bear used that idea for his story and novel, Blood Music. A trendy new idea is to build nanomachines that would aid in terraforming Mars. Of course, there is also the downside. Imagine nanomachines getting out of control and consuming the earth to replicate. By Jim Harris, 2000 | ||||
