ABSTRACT
The phrase “poor man’s nanotechnology” is an oxymoron. Nanotechnology is for the well-equipped, well-funded, well-PhD’d, and well-connected. It is for the risk taker, the visionary, and the entrepreneur. Regardless, we present a point of view from the poor man’s end of this spectrum-the end where nanotechnology is accomplished by the seat of one’s pants-chemically and ˜nancially speaking, from the bottom up, in our laboratory in Thailand.
