Most are probably too young to remember but nanotechnology was supposed to be the most super amazing thing ever.

    People imagine nano bots like the movies. My guess is, science kept going while the buzzwords eroded away.

    Some contemporary applications of nanotechnology are in medicine, for example, more biocompatible nanoparticules used as carriers for more targeted delivery of things like drugs, chemotherapy or gene therapy. Others are in material science - engineering fabrics for specialized applications. QLED TVs use quantum dot technology, which operates at nanoscale.
