Nanotechnology: This is the study of how matter acts on an atomic/molecular level, and how the principles of molecular biology, enzyme control, genetic manipulation, and fine-point electromagnetic control can be used to manipulate matter on an atomic level. Nanotechnology deals with creating things bottom up, atom by atom. It deals with the theoretical technologies that could evolve from being able to control matter atomically. Skill includes using STM (Scanning Tunneling Microscopes), electron microscopes, and all other types of apparatus associated with observing matter on a molecular level. Base Skill: 30% + 5% per level of experience. Requires: Computer Operations, Biology, Chemistry, Math Advanced and Literacy. Restrictions: On Rifts, the study of nanotechnology is very rare. Only high level scientists, working for large corporations have been able to develop any useful applications for the difficult technology. It is unlikely that a character will be able to find someone to teach him this skill.
