Perspective: Nano-hype and market reality By Daniel Leff, Cnet, December 5, 2002, 4:00 AM PT Nano-hype is everywhere, obscuring the real news. For example: "Nanobiotechnology is a hybrid discipline that combines biology and nanoelectronics. Nanobiotechnology companies are building a variety of biological diagnostic tools from an array of tiny sensors that can detect specific biological molecules or individual strands of DNA. These devices will provide far faster, cheaper and more comprehensive diagnoses of complex diseases. For example, a single nanochip could provide a comprehensive diagnosis from one drop of blood, while other applications will include new tools for rapid drug discovery." 6:33:29 AM
