Nanotechnology Sector spotlight company NaturalNano, Inc. and ISE-CCM Nanotechnology Index components Headwaters Inc., Ultratech and Veeco Instruments are among public companies poised to prosper from the still-developing but burgeoning sector, according to Investrend Research analyst Mohammad Sharifzadeh, CFA, PhD.

The analyst also stated:

Nanotechnology is an enabling technology. It opens up new classes of products not previously feasible and enables us to develop new products and processes in all industries. Implementation of nanotechnology results in emergence of new industries, new companies and new markets.

• Nanotechnology displaces existing technologies and gradually makes them obsolete.
• Nanotechnology is multidisciplinary. Nanotechnology is a general capability that affects many scientific disciplines.
• Nanotechnology is global.
• The main driver of the nanosector is R&D investments made by the governments, private companies and venture capitalists.

Nanotechnology is about utilisation of the findings of nanoscience for useful purposes. At the nanoscale, the physical, chemical and biological properties of materials are fundamentally different from the properties of individual atoms and molecules or bulk matter. And these novel properties can be favorably exploited for the benefit of mankind.

Because of its multidisciplinary, disruptive and enabling characteristics, it is argued that nanotechnology will affect all industries across the whole economy and eventually will change all aspects of our lives.
