Still, while nanotechnology is more constrained than some have suggested, there remains a vast scope for defining materials' properties and for creating complex functional assemblies using the new tools of
nano-science.
For example, an artificial sapphire used on the nose cones of infrared-guided missiles could be enhanced using advances in
nano-science, said Larry Kabacoff, program manager for nano-structured materials for the Office of Naval Research.
