| How is it going to change the world? |

| We cannot really predict the future yet, and it's the same story with nanotechnology. But a good way to imagine the future of nanotechnology is to describe certain scenarios that can help us to understand the potential of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology can make solar cells more efficient, cheap and tough for storing sunlight energy without burning any earthly fuel. Efficient and inexpensive storage cells will yield low cost power, helping us to divert our financial resources to other world problems, such as poverty and hunger. |

| The human immune system is always at look out for any invading viruses. It recognizes them b their foreign molecular coats. Our immune system is not fast enough and is very slow to recognize something it never has encountered before. The molecular mechanism of immune system can already destroy most potential cancers and diseases before they become hazardous for our body. With the help of nanotechnology, we aim to build molecular mechanisms that helping our own system in catching those viruses that it misses, resulting in a disease free life. |

 | Researchers already use computers to design their models and virtual reality systems are already helping them out with the visualization process. Using such systems, a user can move the image around. We have not been able to build a super computer to model a few million atoms as yet; even considering a pocket super computer is a far-fetched idea. But it is a reality that computers are shrinking in size and cost. With nanotechnology, a pocket super computer will be easy to have built for personal use.

| In earth's atmosphere, the rise in carbon dioxide levels has alerted the world to the threat of pollution. Fossil fuels are depleting at an alarming rate. Fertile lands are becoming barren and the ratio is increasing day by day. Rain forest are endangered by man's expansion rate. Sea levels are rising. All these dangers to our planet can be tackled with success with the help of nanotechnology. |

| The cost of a space flight is mostly consists of high performance reliable hardware. MNT will make rocket and shuttles light weight and super strong, all at a very low cost. Add inexpensive fuel to the equation, and the result will be that space, the final frontier, will become more accessible than the other side of the ocean is today for human beings. |

| Scientists and doctors are trying to develop biomedical applications based on nanotechnology for the sole purpose of the improvement in human health care. Such technology base can be used to restore some lost species. It will be lot easier to preserve our ecosystems and species intact. |
