      Hi mohamed2536!

      Thank you for the question. I’m afraid that I don’t know very many sci-fi movies (I’m much more of an old movie fan!), but I think you can find many influences of nanotechnology in films. The first one I remember was a movie called Inner Space I saw as a kid, which was about a hero who gets shrunk down to a tiny size and accidentally injected into another person. I remember it being quite funny. Recently, nanotechnology featured in the movie ‘I, Robot’. I guess, if I could make my own movie to include uses of nanotechnology, I might think about a nanomaterial that was capable of curing diseases – maybe something based on our magnetic nanoparticles!
