Guests: Irfan S. Ahmad, Brian T. Cunningham, and John Rogers.

As modern technology has continued to develop, we've started thinking smaller, not bigger. Today on Focus, we're joined by three researchers from the University of Illinois to discuss their work in the burgeoning field of nanotechnology. This emerging science of the very small may well fuel the next industrial revolution.

Guests: Brenda Wilson, Thomas Mackin, and David Kellner.

Many scientists believe that nanotechnology has great potential to change both our economy and the way we live. This morning we'll look at recent developments in the field with University of Illinois microbiologist Brenda Wilson, Thomas Mackin from Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, and David Kellner, the CEO of a company that uses nanoscale technology in environmental monitoring.
