Nano tech is "becoming" an industry and growing fast.
Virtually ALL industry comes out of science.
Science is all about how to do things.
Industry is all about doing it.
Common sense is all about ...what to do.
Not all that common.

How can one make an industry out of a science? Nanotechnology is a

"Our Silver-Coated Future
by Robin Marantz Henig
Nanotechnology, fast becoming a three-trillion-dollar industry, is about
to revolutionize our world. Unfortunately, hardly anyone is stopping to
ask whether it's safe...Hearing how small things are when you're working
at the nano level doesn't help you visualize anything, exactly; all it
does is make you sit back and say, "Wow." If you think of a meter as the
earth, goes one analogy, then a nanometer would be a marble..."Things get
complex down there, in terms of the physics and the chemistry," says
Andrew Maynard, chief science adviser for the Project on Emerging
Nanotechnologies, "When you have small blocks of stuff, they behave
differently than when you have large blocks of stuff."...Nowhere is the
tension between real and perceived risk -- not to mention the tension
between the mundane and the transformative -- more apparent than with
nanosilver. Nanosilver offers an important early test case for two
reasons: It is now used in more consumer products than any other
nanomaterial, and it is principally designed for use in products that come
into direct contact with the human body..."
