We predict that a few revolutions will roll over us in the course of the next 50 years — revolutions that will have great impact on our lifestyles and economy, and will involve nanotechnology, energy, and robotics.
Here are some of the early-desired things of our nearest nanofuture:
Low-power, high-density computer memory, long-lasting batteries, and some medical applications (including cancer therapy and diagnostics) will be some of the early products (pre-2010) and composites will come online toward 2020. The order of events will likely be computers and medical first, and then materials — all overlapping but peaking at their respective years.
Nanomaterials that emerge around 2020 will not only provide lighter/ stronger materials for vehicles but will also improve efficiency in the collection, storage, and transmission of energy, greatly aiding our transition from gas to solar, hydrogen, or maybe even renewable bio-fuels (for example, vegetable oils and bioalcohols such as ethanol and methanol).
As nanotechnology develops better sensors and processors, robots will be in demand as cheap manual labor, not only will we have robotic dogs and vacuum cleaners but also assembly-line industrial labor. All this will gradually grow over the next few decades — but once the hardware is in place (around 2030), the software and artificial intelligence will soon follow. Some of these years may seem a long way off, but these changes will arrive faster than you may think. If you’re currently in college, they’ll happen in your lifetime.
long-lasting- с длительным сроком службы overlapping - наложение; совмещение

Nowadays many companies are using nanotechnology to make better materials from the rubber used for tires to stain-repellent fabrics for clothing.
One of these companies has a line of nano-additives and enhanced carbon nanotubes that add strength to composite materials. Using these they can improve thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties of various materials.
In clothing manufacture, one of the enterprises offers a jacket made of a waterproof polymer membrane with embedded nano-size carbon particles that resist taking on a static charge. Such anti-static protection could be used, for example, in firefighters’ suits to help them avoid static electricity that could spark fire in a hazardous situation.
Some companies are focused on material performance. They are working on nanotubes and nanorods, nano-ceramics, nanostructured metal alloys, and self-assembled block polymers.
Nanotechnology can be found even in the sports. In France the special tennis rackets have been already produced. They use carbon nanotubes for higher torsion in the racket and flexibility of the racket strings.
Plenty of companies are making equipment for testing and manipulation of nano-size materials. Environmentally-controlled equipment can test reactions of various sample materials in different environments. Some of the nano-scanners that are manufactured can be used for high-resolution imaging of nano-size materials.
