本文介绍了如何希望可以，并已被放置在纳米技术。专注于两个最近的英国政府报告到纳米技术的未来，由DTI/OST和国防部，本文介绍了如何披露的纳米尺度作为一个地方受到干预，该法案是采取定义纳米技术，可以理解的背景下，预期的知识实践，创造未来。由于这种做法的对象是虚拟的，如机会和威胁，本文认为，影响是横向的纳米技术和预期的治理。最后，我打开了一组问题的预期知识，并认为，地面，使希望被放置在纳米技术是事件，定义纳米-同时减少“生命”的物质和倍增的“生命”成一个无限的一组物质。
This paper describes how hopes can be, and have been, placed in nanotechnology. Focusing on two recent UK government reports into the future of nanotechnology, by the DTI/OST and MoD, the paper describes how the disclosure of the nanoscale as a place subject to intervention, the act that is taken to define nanotechnology, can be understood in the context of anticipatory knowledge practices that create futures. Because the object of such practices are virtualities, such as opportunities and threats, the paper argues that affect is transversal to both nano-technoscience and anticipatory governance. In conclusion, I open up a set of questions about anticipatory knowledges and argue that the ground that enables hope to be placed in nanotechnology is the event that defines nano - to simultaneously reduce 'life' to matter and to multiply 'life' into a limitless set of materialities.
