Present nanotechnology research projects represent the first step into a wider world of opportunity for Egypt.

Future areas of concern on the horizon include:

• Nanomagnetics: data storage on nano-devices
• Nanomechanics: RF and other nanosensors
• Nanocomposites: “Smart” nanomaterials
• Nanoelectronics: Conductivity through nanotubes and wires
• Nanophotonics: High-speed optics on silicon chips
