All around me would be smoke and chatter, as scarf-clad brunettes sipped the famous corn syrup-free European Coke, cafés con leche, or the beer on tap. After doing my best...
Increasingly, nanoengineers are working to develop medical devices, batteries, electrical switches and more made up of microscopic parts that float above one another on thin films of other materials. This increases efficiency, reduces friction and allows the hardware to be built to finer tolerances and tinier sizes. Design them small enough, and you can put them in microscopically tiny places machinery could never go before. "When you understand the forces you're manipulating," says Parsegian, "you can design efficiently at the nanometer scale...

But having money and being savvy about it are "not directly linked," he says. Another such program is Citi Private Bank's annual NextGen...
