A biologist is researching antibodies, which are tiny natural proteins in the blood of animals, and she is using methods developed twenty years ago. These methods allow her to study the antibodies even though they are very small, approximately 10-9 m in size. The biologist tells her friend, who is a physicist, that she is now a nanotechnologist. Her friend disagrees. Why does the physicist disagree?
