OT: "Safe" nano play for long term????

FEI Company's (nasdaq: FEIC - news - people ) "Tools for Nanotech" tagline underscores the importance the company places on nanotechnology. While other corporations with a history in semiconductor equipment are content riding the ebbs and flows of the chip cycle, FEI has aggressively sought to become the leading provider of tools for atomic-scale characterization, analysis and manipulation. Its ion-beam and electron-beam microscopes are standards in research labs worldwide. But the Oregon-based company has also recognized that equipment purchases by nanotech centers and research labs only scratch the surface of the potential market. So FEI is gearing up for the next nanotechnology build-out by nanotech start-ups flush with venture capital and established corporations adopting broad nano-initiatives.
