Nanotechnology Summary

Nanotechnology Like a swarm of bees, tiny humanmade satellites—called nanosatellites or picosatellites, depending on their size—may one day fly in formation to remote destinations throug... Read more

Nanocomputing Nanocomputing Nanocomputing describes computing that uses extremely small, or nanoscale, devices (one nanometer [nm] is one billionth of a meter). In 2001, state-of-the-art electronic de... Read more

Nanochemistry In nanochemistry, the rules of bonding are extended from atoms and molecules to larger objects having the dimension of from 1 to 100 nanometers, where one nanometer is one-billionth of a... Read more

Nanotechnology Nanotechnology refers to the construction and use of atomic machines—functioning consortia of atoms that are less than about 1,000 nanometers in size. A nanometer is one billionth... Read more

Nanotechnology Nanotechnology is an relatively new area of science in which extremely tiny machines, ranging from a few to a few hundred nanometers in size, are used to manipulate systems. This manipu... Read more

Nanotechnologies Nanotechnology is the technology of building things at a molecular scale, that is, where objects are measured in nanometers. Nanotechnology has the potential to improve both energy pr... Read more
