As you are able to make things smaller and smaller, medicine is the huge place for this to advance – veins and arteries and body-scale things are really huge on the nanoscale. You shouldn’t need to cut things up! You can just send in your nano-probes. And they really are.. veins and things are millimeters, that’s huge on the nanoscale. Nightmares? I don’t bother to have nightmares, because I want to advance the field, but whether or not I can pay my mortgage doesn’t depend on whether my nanotechnology goes or fails. [laughs] The pitfall will be if people sell it too hard for more than it is, it will fail before it gets a chance to be developed into a practical tool. That’s always the problem with any new technology, that in order to get people to listen to it, you have to add hype, but if you add too much hype you create expectations that are not realistic, and then the whole system collapes.
