A nanometer is a billionth of a meter, about 1/80,000 of the diameter of a human hair, or 10 times the diameter of a hydrogen atom. Nanotechnology is now used in precision engineering, new materials development as well as in electronics; electromechanical systems as well as mainstream biomedical applications in areas such as gene therapy, drug delivery and novel drug discovery techniques.Energy policies, politics and prices series.Nuclear energyUnited StatesElectric power productionEconomic aspectsUnited StatesElectric power productionEnvironmental aspectsUnited StatesNuclear energyElectric power productionEconomic aspectsElectric power productionEnvironmental aspectsFurham Perry G1128687Furham, Perry G.edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910653177303321Nuclear power's role in generating electricity2661057UNINA
