N1  - "Complement to the nano exhibit mounted at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art from Dec. 14, 2003 to Sept. 1, 2004"--P. [7]; Includes bibliographical references (p. 212-253); Nano denotes a billionth; a nanometer is a billionth of a meter. New instrumentation and techniques have for the first time made possible materials research and engineering at this level, the scale of individual molecules and atoms. Extraordinary visions of material abundance, unprecedented materials, and powerful engineering capabilities have marked the arrival of nanotechnology, as well as dystopian scenarios of self-replicating devices running amok and causing global catastrophe. Largely a future possibility rather than present actuality, nanotechnology has become a potent cultural signifie
