What's so special about controlling matter at a smaller scale? This is where the answers get more complex and diverse. An essential point is that nanotechnology is not just about miniaturizing things. At the nanoscale different laws of physics come into play (quantum physics), properties of traditional materials change (see the discussion of nanoparticles), and the behavior of surfaces starts to dominate the behavior of bulk materials, and whole new realms open up for us. Additionally, making materials atomically exact radically changes their properties.
