Abstract

Presently, Natural Sciences are facing a decisive change: the analysis of the natural world reached a point where the direction of research is inverted. It is not the case anymore of investigating how the natural processes work but how to act with those basic elements in a different way. The researcher, as an observer and as an analyst of the chemical, physical or biological elements of nature becomes a designer of something that did not exist before. What can be considered a scientific revolution is the general turn of the analysis of the natural world towards synthesis, towards the design hidden behind what is known as nanotechnology
