According to scientists India cannot afford to miss the nanotechnology revolution and must make investments in the area carefully. This is only because nanotechnology may become one of the biggest fields in the next five-six years.

Already a lot of work on nano-wires and nano-circuits has been done the world over. In the future, it may lead to production of nano-computers. India cannot be at the receiving end when the whole world is presently driven by the nanotechnology revolution. While work is being done in India in the area of nano-materials, not much is being done in nano-electronics.

In next 10-15 years, effects of nanotechnology may start becoming visible. It was important to select areas to make investments in nanotechnology and research was also needed in nano-sensors, which were already being used in medical diagnostics. Thus, young people in India must take interest and do experiments in the area.
