Nanotechnology - What is it?

Nanotechnology is molecular manufacturing or, more simply,
building things one atom or molecule at a time with programmed
nanoscopic robot arms. A nanometer is one billionth of a metre
(3 - 4 atoms wide).

Utilising the well understood chemical properties of atoms and molecules (how they "stick" together), nanotechnology proposes the construction of novel molecular devices possessing extraordinary properties. The trick is to manipulate atoms individually and place them exactly where needed to produce the desired structure. This ability is almost in our grasp.

"Nanotechnology will reverse the harm done by the industrial revolution".

Imagine being able to cure cancer by drinking a medicine stirred into your favorite fruit juice. Imagine a supercomputer no bigger than a human cell. Imagine a four-person, surface-to-orbit spacecraft no larger or more expensive than the family car. These are just a few products expected from Nanotechnology.
