Nano Benefits for Beginners

Here's a run-down on nanotechnology aimed at newbies; I like the headline:

Tiny science makes socks that don't smell and windows that clean themselves

Of course, it's not just socks -- entire wardrobes will never need laundering or dry cleaning. And it won't just be windows -- we'll have whole self-cleaning houses. But even that's just the beginning. How about food that cooks itself? Machines that repair and maintain themselves? Even human bodies that never get sick and never get old.

Still, you have to start somewhere when introducing the subject, and I guess clean glass and non-stinky socks represent as good a place to start as any.
