More investor interest

Two items join the drumbeat of coverage on the increasing interest by investors and venture capital firms in nanotechnology.

The first, from Small Times, covers a report issued by investment brokerage firm Merrill Lynch to its clients ("Merrill Lynch report bullish on nanotech as an investment", by Jeff Karoub, 7 September 2001).

A second report, from Tornado Insider ("Small is Big", by Alan R. Katz, 31 August 2001) provides a European perspective.
