The military wants it first, after they have it for 4 generations then you will see a few consumer applications. But truly it could be made to operate as a virus with any characteristics that could be devised, not just germ or chemical warfare, but say dropped from a fighter plane and then attaching themselves to your target (human,steal,etc.) and then start producing HCL,HF acids of extremely high molarity basically eating a tank to nothing, etc. The more Power they can get an individual unit to generate they could have laser mines, Jamming clouds that float through the sky, Anti Missile devices where they form themselves into a giant net in the path of a missile. You could put them into bullets, tank rounds, missiles, gernades, anything. Imagine a floating blankets of Nanites which render a city completely invisible, or bend and flex producing an extremly tough almost impenetrable armor for individual soldiers, tanks. An Airplane wing with flexes over it entire length a MISSION ADAPTIVE WING, which is as strong a titanium and composite can make, but as flexible and sensitive to airflow as a sparrows feathers. The applications are limitless. And truly astounding, and because you see this has military applications, that is why the technology will be developed. But we will see it just the same. Ben
