THE MIRACLES OF NANOTECHNOLOGY
ABSTRACT
Imagine a technology so powerful that it will allow such feats as desktop manufacturing, cellular repair, artificial intelligence, inexpensive space travel, clear and abundant energy and environmental restoration; a technology so powerful that every one can reap its benefits a technology so fundamental that it will radically change our economic and political systems; a technology so imminent that most of us will see its impact within our life times. Such is the prominence of nanotechnology.
This paper reviews about the electronic computers that contain components with dimensions of only few nanometers. A nanometer, one billionth of meter is only about 10 atomic diameters. Such nanometer scale electronic computers that are electronic nano computers that contain molecular scale components are likely to be built up 10000 times more densely integrated than today's smallest microcomputers.
It describes achievements, challenges, disadvantages of nanotechnology and status of new technologies and designs that promise to continue the miniaturization of electronic computers down to a scale of tens of nanometer and, ultimately to the molecular scale.
