      MElon probably means that “nanotechnology is bs”, and no it’s not, it’s just a science that is in it’s infancy, and one that may become extremely useful in the future.

      Also Elon says that while pushing NFTs and crypto constantly.🤦‍♂️

        And we definitely are already making great strides in commercializing it, depending on how you define the set of nano-tech.

      Usually it stands for nanometer. It can also mean very small. Its a prefix which means a billionth of something, like centi means a hundreth.

      I assumed the scientist was doing something with nanotechnology, which according to the CDC is “the manipulation of matter on a near-atomic scale to produce new structures, materials and devices. The technology promises scientific advancement in many sectors such as medicine, consumer products, energy, materials, and manufacturing.”
