Foreword to the French Edition
Nanotechnology can produce objects with hitherto unimagined architectures and it is unique, not only for its spinoffs in every area of science and technology, but also for its economic and social consequences. It is interesting to observe that specialists have some difficulty agreeing on a precise definition of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Physicists, chemists, and biologists often refer to different size ranges, but they all agree that the nanoworld is characterised by a radical change in the physical, chemical, or biological properties of the objects in question. Indeed, nanotechnological development is not just the business of miniaturising matter. It can be used to produce novel and often unexpected features, such as the appearance of remarkable optical propertie
