Nanoscale science and technology is one of the fastest growing research areas in recent years. Nanofabrication techniques are the cornerstone for this rapid growth; without this capability, nanotechnology would be a mere speculation. In fact, while the birth of nano-science/technology was occurred over fifty years ago, from Richard Feynman’s famous 1959 lecture “There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom”, growth in this field was rather slow in its first 30 years - mainly due to the lack of nanofabrication capability (and its accessibility). It is only since the mid-1990s that nano-research has experienced explosive grown, coinciding with the development and more availability of a broad range of nanofabrication techniques. The nanotechnology industry has experienced a similar fast growth since a decade later.

纳米科学技术是近年来发展最快的研究领域之一。纳米纤维技术是这种快速增长的基石;没有这种能力，纳米技术将仅仅是一种猜测。事实上，虽然纳米科学/技术的诞生发生在50多年前，从理查德·费曼1959年著名的演讲“底部有足够的空间”开始，但该领域的增长在前30年相当缓慢-主要是由于缺乏纳米制造能力（及其可访问性）。只是自20世纪90年代中期以来，纳米研究才经历了爆炸式增长，与广泛的纳米纤维技术的发展和更多的可用性相吻合。自十年后，纳米技术行业也经历了类似的快速增长。
