For traditional industries, which are finding it harder and harder to make ends meet, nanotech provides opportunities for new products and methods of production-and even new industries. No wonder industry has been gripped by a rage for nanotechnology. There are nano-fibers, nano-refrigerators, nano-herbal-medicines, nano-cosmetics.
對經營日益艱困的傳統產業而言，奈米科技能讓產業推陳出新，開發新產品、甚至切入新產業，無怪乎業界颳起一陣奈米風，奈米纖維、奈米冰箱、奈米中草藥、奈米化妝品......，連搞不清處狀況的街頭小販都趕著推出「奈米便當」，要和蓬萊米、在來米一別苗頭！
