Venture capitalists are investing heavily in nanotechnology, which promises industrial advancements, such as nanoscale powders that strengthen steel and materials that allow for smaller chips. Samsung is using carbon nanotubes, fibers just 2 nm wide, to develop high-resolution TV screens; dozens of newcomers will use them to build everything from next-generation transistors to stronger outdoor lights...
