Concluding Remarks


The natural laws of interdependence were recognized by many ancient civilizations, and the idealized concept of unity in nature was promulgated during the Renaissance more than five centuries ago. However, only now have we begun to connect and integrate various disciplines based on recent advancements in knowledge and to provide cause-and-effect explanations from the nanoscale to the macroscale, thereby moving beyond the Renaissance ideal. With the proper consideration of ethical aspects and societal needs, paradigm changes and the synergism of the four components of nano-bio-info-cogno are expected to bring revolutionary changes in technology, the economy, and society, as well as to increase human potential.
