I admit, I have invested in nanotech companies, but that is not the reason I clipped this, if it were, I would not tell you that. The incredible potential benefits of this technology are remarkable, from safe drinking water in countries that are suffering, to medical and scientific advances that are beneficial to all mankind. The possibilities are seemingly endless!

Think batteries. If you want to invest this is where you want to be smart. When they apply nanotech to batteries much of our energy and enviornmental problems will be resolved. Of course, this won't be happening tomorrow.
