What is the outlook for industries using nanofabrication?
Every year some industries spurt ahead and some slow down. That is the way the world economy is. However, the ones that do more spurting ahead are the high-tech industries like optoelectronics (fiber-optic communications for the Internet), displays (flat TVs, computer screens, etc.), sensors (pollution, food bacteria detection, etc.), pharmaceuticals (DNA immobilization, “lab-on-a-chip”), and microelectronics. These industries use nanofabrication technology now and will use nanofabrication even more in the future.
