"There's plenty of room at the bottom"
Almost 50 years had passed since Richard Feynman gave a talk on nanotechnology in 1959. Indeed there's plenty of room at the bottom. Researchers had been reinventing the wheel in the nano sense, i.e. making things very small that works.
Batteries, as we know it, may be a thing of the past in the not so distant future (5 years, says the researchers) if carbon nanotube batteries make it to the consumer. These new batteries would take seconds instead of hours to charge, would not degrade like conventional rechargable batteries, does not pollute the environment and would potentially last a lot longer too since the surface area of a carbon nanotube capacitor type battery would be huge despite occupying a small volume.
The future of nanodevices are very near. (iPod nano is not even close to future)
