At other times, I thought of nano-technology mostly in terms of tiny machines that would repair DNA or some other sci-fi stuff. Turns out that, so far, the main uses have been in manufacturing technology. I read about a sort of antibiotic that came from nano-assembly of a shaped chemical that attacked a specific kind of bacterial process. This one reorganizes a way of extracting energy from sunlight. It could be huge.
"Fujitsu Laboratories has improved on methods for forming thin films (nanoparticle deposition(2)) of electroceramics on flexible mounting sheets to create capacitors and other passive elements. It has also developed a process technology for layering thin films on a substrate using a nozzle to spray the raw-material photocatalyst-material particle that fragments the particle on a thin plate."
