Nanotech Overview
Nanotechnology involves very, very, very small machines. Machines that are built at the molecular level. By themselves nanobots are too small to be effective for much of anything. However, collectively, nanobots can be used to do amazing things.
The stuff of science fiction just a few years ago, we have now entered nanotechnology in it’s infancy. Most, however, agree that in the future most everything we do will have nanotechnology involved in one way or another.
Nanotechnology provides several advantages that hold great promise. First, the ability to organize material at the molecular level allows for far greater control in the development of products. You will see steel-like products developed that will be 10x stronger and weigh just a fraction of what steel weighs now. How will that impact you? The car you drive, the plane you fly in, the building you sit in can all be structure differently, more efficiently.
To get you started on what Nanotechnology is I would recommend:

So, with that being said, how in the world does this relate to Lost? It’s my opinion that Nanotechnology is one of the disciplines being studdied on the island by the Hanso corporation. Review the links from above and then come back and read how nanobot swarms are present and are interacting with our Losties.
