There are Tremendous Growth Prospects for the Nanotechnology Industry that is Expected to Grow from $225 Million to $700 Billion by 2005 to 2007

DUBLIN, Ireland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 21, 2006--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c35969) has announced the addition of "Nanotechnology - The Coming Revolution" to their offering.

Until only a few decades ago, nanotechnology was an unknown entity in the public space. But now it is widely known to be the next revolutionizing frontier of science. In simple terms nanotechnology is about understanding and manipulating structures at the atomic and molecular levels. It is the science of building atomic particles. It has tremendous technological implications ranging from space sciences to microbiology. It is widely understood to be the propeller of the new century of evolutions. There are tremendous growth prospects for the nanotechnology industry that is expected to grow from $225 million to $700 billion by 2005 to 2007.

The rise of nanotechnology is viewed to be a potent phenomenon in the biotechnology market and the positive trends can be marked on the stock market. High-level scientific research in the field has been bolstered by heavy capital investments pouring in on account of the great potential. It has also opened new avenues various emergent sectors.
