Getting involved in nanotechnology requires lot of expensive equipment (special "clean" rooms, atomic mass microscopes and others). I think initial capital investment is very high. Also, it is very hard to make interesting something that you cannot see. Nanotechnology has been the buzzword of the day for a decade. It has its use in securing external funding, and, if the college decides to explore the possibilities, it would not be a very bad idea.
