I'm obsessed with microtechnology and nanotechnology and the impact it will have on our society. In fact, this impact is not too far away. Many companies and research groups are already developing products in the “micro-nano” space, and investors are becoming more and more interested. To understand this developing field, I will research different companies, particularly startups, that are working to impact or disrupt the industries of renewable energy, medicine, biotech, sustainability, manufacturing, space exploration, and more.
