"One of the key advances we have made is the ability to image at the sub-atomic level using electron microscopes. Nanotechnology, he explains, is about more than making existing gadgets smaller. As any quantum physicist could tell you, the way matter behaves varies widely depending on how far the observer zooms in or out. This means that in order to develop, say, a device capable of delivering drugs to individual cells in our bodies, we first have to understand how things on such a microscopic scale actually work."
"After decades of slow but steady progress, the research done at MIT.nano is picking up momentum. We can now freeze matter in place and observe phenomena at that scale. This opens up new possibilities for technology and medicine, allowing us to manipulate materials at the nanometer scale for innovative applications."
