NEW YORK: Nanotechnology, according to its fans, will jumpstart a new industrial revolution with molecular-sized structures as complex as the human cell and 100 times stronger than steel.
Giants like GE, Intel, Motorola and IBM, lured by a market with billions of dollars in potential profits, are already heavily involved in research.
There are also a number of leading start-ups, like Carbon Nanotechnologies (CNI) in Houston and Frontier Carbon, a Mitsubishi Chemical joint venture.
Worldwide, the two industries with the potential to win big with nanotechnology are electronics and biotechnology, according to MIT researchers.
