Who will win the nano race?

Building powerfully advanced products quickly, easily, cheaply, and in huge numbers — that's the disruptive impact of molecular manufacturing. When a new technology has the potential to radically transform national and global economies, geopolitical relations, and even human social structures, we'd better learn as much about it as we can.

A critically important question to answer is who. Which nation, group, corporation, or consortium is most likely to achieve the "holy grail" of nanotechnology first?

That's the abstract of CRN's latest column for the popular Nanotechnology Now web portal. We hope you'll read all our columns, offer feedback, and tell others about them too.
