Broad and interdisciplinary, nanotechnology is changing many traditional industries and allowing the creation of new companies. For example in life science, nanosized drug carriers allows better cancer treatment, and the entire field of energy will be affected, from usage to supply, conversion and storage. It enables new electronic components, energy efficient LED lights, lightweight nanocomposites, low friction nanolubricants and much more.
Particularly relevant to the Öresund region, nanotechnology development is catalyzed by development of new tool and the ESS and MAX-IV laboratory will be giant microscopes allowing unparalleled (behöver batter superlativ här!) study of matter and processes on the nanoscale.
