  • 30. (a). the marriage of chemical synthetic talent with a direction provided by "device-driven" ingenuity coming from engineering, and
  • 30. (b). a certain kind of courage provided by those incentives, to make arrays of atoms and molecules that ordinary, no, extraordinary chemists just wouldn't have thought of trying. Now they're pushed to do so. And of course they will. They can do anything. Nanotechnology is the way of ingeniously controlling the building of small and large structures, with intricate properties; it is the way of the future, a way of precise, controlled building, with, incidentally, environmental benignness built in by design". <http://www.foresight.org/Updates/Update20/Update20.1.html#anchor176004>
