| Just as genetic engineering and forensics before it, nanotechnology is quickly gaining the attention of the general public through media outlets and recent works of fiction. Since the mid-late 1980's, the notion of nanotechnology has escaped laboratories and disseminated into popular works of science fiction. Refer to a newspaper, surf the internet, or look to recent sci-fi books and movies, because nanotechnology appears to be increasingly prevalent in the popular culture. The manipulation of matter on the nanometer scale has been termed nanotechnology, an exploding field still in its infancy. Nanotechnology provides an excellent way of learning to look at the amazing opportunities that arise when various fields of science intermingle. This poster will present a range of nanoscience-based fiction resources for the chemistry classroom. A sampling of full-length novels, short stories, television programs, full-length motion pictures, and video games will be discussed. If you thought Michael Crichton's Prey was the only choice for nanotechnology, you've got a lot to see! |
