Description

Already in 1960s before even the term Nanotechnology was coined, the possibility to minimize technology on behalf of medical science was seen in different movies. But at that time it was considered as science fiction. Five decades later and what considered as fantasy of films directors became part of the everyday work of different physicians at the hospitals all around the world. Indeed many films and T.V series reflected this change. Hence do these films and T.V series can help the laymen to understand the principles and concepts that stand behind the term Nanotechnology. My presentation will try to answer these questions.
