I moved the list of individuals to List of nanotechnology topics, I think it belongs better there. Antony-22 00:34, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ancient nanotech!

I am not happy with this: "Humans have unwittingly employed nanotechnology for thousands of years, for example in making steel and in vulcanizing rubber. Both of these processes rely on the properties of stochastically-formed atomic ensembles mere nanometers in size, and are distinguished from chemistry in that they don't rely on the properties of individual molecules." Any comments? Sangak 18:35, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

The idea is that there are often claims that nanotechnology dates back to the Middle Ages or even before that since stained glass gets its color from metal nanoparticles, although obviously they didn't know anything about nanoparticles. It's really a stretch to call that "nanotechnology," but people persist. This seems to be along the same lines, but it's even more of a stretch than the stained-glass thing. I'd be OK with removing it. Antony-22 09:16, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

this is a very much advanced source and this this this is a very much useful in the future as many long jobs can make short arun from tamilnadu
