Will clouds of self-replicating nanobots take over the world, or is this just a scene from a science fiction novel? Nanotechnology is a rapidly growing field that has huge potential for transforming our world. But the reality of advances in nanoscale science falls short of the hype that has emerged from the imaginations of many futurists. Students consider a series of nanotechnology claims and decide if each one represents fact or fiction or somewhere in between. This activity is designed to capture students’ imagination and to spur their interest in learning more about nanoscale science and technology.
