Abstract: Historically, there are several recorded instances of technologies that have revolutionized human civilization. From the invention of automobile wheels to the printing press, technological revolutions have resulted in remarkable improvement in the quality of life and have eventually led to societal transformations. With nanotechnology promising to impact almost every sector (Fig. 4.1), it is popularly believed that this could be the next revolution.
