Frequently asked questions

How should I approach learning nanotechnology?
At the nanoscale ordinary rules bend, so the science has to be built up carefully. Start with an accessible tour of the field and its promise, then the quantum and materials science underneath, then the applications and the hype-versus-reality debate. Sequence separates what works today from what is still speculation.
What's a good book to start nanotechnology with?
A strong starting point is Engines of creation by K. Eric Drexler. The ordered reading paths above show exactly where it fits and what to read next.
What should I read after nanotechnology?
Once you have the fundamentals, explore closely related subjects like Quantum physics, Biotechnology & synthetic biology, Robotics.
