纳米技术是二十一世纪最具发展前景的领域。当前 ,在全球范围内 ,一个以纳米材料、纳米电子学和纳米医疗为核心的高科技时代已经来临。很多产业都将因纳米技术的发展而得益 ,如通讯、计算机、医疗、化工、材料、能源、飞机、汽车、航天、环保和机械制造等。而且十分明显的是 ,几乎所有的方面都涉及或依赖于真空科学与技术。 Nanotechnology is the most promising area in the 21st century. At present, a high-tech era centered on nanomaterials, nanoelectronics and nanomedicine has arrived globally. Many industries will benefit from advances in nanotechnology such as telecommunications, computers, medical, chemical, materials, energy, aircraft, automotive, aerospace, environmental protection and machinery manufacturing. And it is quite obvious that almost all aspects involve or depend on vacuum science and technology.
