Others prefer nano-particles for things such as drug delivery. Still others engineer catalysts. And finally quantum dots, which allow for various color emissions. That's all I can think of at the moment.
Nanotubes for electron emitters without filaments.

Wisconsin - Madison
Illinois - Champaign Urbana
