Hot on the heels of First Trust comes EnviroSystems who use nanotechnology to design “objects molecule by molecule on the scale of nanometers, or a billionth of a meter to make super-strong but environmentally benign chemicals” and whose brand of “nano-emulsive particles” pushes the boundaries of nanotechnology out to 250 nm, where diesel engines and aerosols can produce particles and droplets.
Intel, closely followed by the rest of the semiconductor industry introduced the .25 micron (or 250nm) process back in 1998 with the Pentium II chip. Much more of this and we’ll be extending nanotechnology to visible objects.
