I say BIPH can use 'nano' references all it wants...

"The U.S. National Science Foundation has forecasted that the global market for nanotechnology products and services will reach $1 trillion in revenues annually by 2015. By the close of 2006, it is estimated that nanotechnology related industries are expecting gross revenues of $25 billion. Simply put, it will affect almost every aspect of our lives. From medicines to our medical evaluations and diagnosis methods, from the power of our computers to our energy generation, from the food we eat, cars we drive, and airplanes in which we fly to the buildings we live in and the clothes that we wear, early phase products are being deployed today in the marketplace. While the tempo and range of applications of this technology is expanding daily, for every area where we can envision an impact, there will be others no one has thought of to date – new capabilities, new products, and new markets. Given the breadth of impact, in the short- and medium-term this will mainly be a gradual but consistent revolution, creeping into the world around us for decades to come.
Governments worldwide are keenly interested in this science and technology as they glimpse into the future. The United States, the largest known government investor at present, has committed $3.7 billion to research over the next three years through the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) fund. Suffice it to state that the present investment is significant and growing by full integer multiples each year. It is projected that the spending and technological advances realized in this science during in the decades ahead will far exceed our recent several decades in the micro science age.
Because it has been primarily in the research labs, the street person hasn’t been overly aware of its power and promise. It is now being deployed mostly in rudimentary forms, primarily particles and carbon tubes versus 2D or 3D complex structures, in many areas of our industrial complexes including disk drives, stain free fabrics (Nano-Tex fabric sold by Eddie Bauer, Lee Jeans and others), clear sun screens, paints, tire technology, and many others, all applications with measurable leaps in performance.
Life Sciences & Medicine
In life sciences and medicine, it means we are now becoming able to measure and make things on the level at which organisms in the living world, from bacteria to plants to ourselves, do most of their work. Being able to work at this scale empowers us in our control of the biological world and allows us to start borrowing from that world, leveraging the extraordinary inventions that nature has produced through billions of years of evolution.
Materials
In materials, things start to behave differently at the nanoscale. The bulk materials that we have traditionally dealt with are uncontrolled and disordered at small scales. The strongest alloys are still made of crystals the size and shape of which we control only crudely. By comparison, a tiny, hollow tube of carbon atoms, called a carbon nanotube, can be perfectly formed without any imperfections in structure, is remarkably strong, with useful electrical and thermal properties.
When particles get small enough (and qualify as nanoparticles), their mechanical properties change, and the way light and other electromagnetic radiation is affected by them changes (visible light wavelengths are on the order of a few hundred nanometers). Using nanoparticles in composite materials can enhance their strength and/or reduce weight, increase chemical and heat resistance and change the interaction with light and other radiation. While some such composites have been made for decades, the ability to make nanoparticles out of a wider variety of materials is opening up a world of new composites.
