Rather then mastering complexity, I'd say engineering, and in particular electronic engineering, has mastered prediction. It was the rise of accurate simulation tools, such as SPICE, that allowed the construction of reliable integrated circuits and the computing revolution. It strikes me that the nano/molecular technology revolution depends on the wide availability of accurate simulators. (Please do say if there already a molecular equivalent of SPICE available!)
