Nanotechnology Today
Zechariah 4;10 For whoever has despised the day of small things shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerub'babel.
should be considered a "must read" for anyone interested in nanotechnology. General readers seeking to ascertain the staggering potential of nanotechnology will find this work useful, as will those who want to know how, when, and in what ways nanotechnology will affect large and small businesses. For those considering investing in nanotechnology, now or in the future, "Nanotechnology Fortunes" is simply invaluable. "
Nanotechnology For Dummies
This title demystifies the topic for investors, business executives, and anyone interested in how molecule-sized machines and processes can transform our lives. Along with dispelling common myths, it covers nanotechnology's origins, how it will affect various industries, and the limitations it can overcome
Nanotechnology is any technology related to features of nanometer scale -thin films- fine particles -chemical synthesis- advanced microlithography -nanotubes/fullerene research. A technology based on the ability to build structures to complex, atomic specifications by means of mechanosynthesis can be be considered molecular nanotechnology. "If you see gold in the future of nanotechnology, you’re right. Before you start investing, however, you had better be able to distinguish science fiction and fantasy from promising research with real potential. Exciting as it is, nanotechnology research has yet to produce a single viable commercial product, and any investor who wants to pick a winner needs to know where to look for opportunities and how to recognize the promising ones."
Carbon Nanotubes are molecules made from carbon atoms. The tubes are generally only a few Nano-meters in diameter {a nanometer spans only three or four atoms}, and may be may be as long as a few millimeters. Their unique properties lend them to utilization in a myriad of exciting applications in the not too distant future. They are the catalyst that will revolutionize technology in the Twenty First Century. Fully harnessing and utilizing these structures to their fullest in possibly the second greatest scientific achievement in Human History, the first being harnessing Fire, few people actually realize the potentials Carbon nanotubes hold, and the ground floor opportunities are fantastic.

Microelectromechanical systems {MEMS} Picture a machine so small that it is not visible to the human eye. Imagine machines no bigger than a grain of sand. Imagine hundreds of these machines aligned on a single silicon chip. . Imagine a world where gravity and inertia carry no importance, only atomic forces and surface structures dominate. A silicon chip with hundreds or thousands of microscopic mirrors adjusting in unison, enabling the all optical network and removing the bottlenecks from the global telecommunications infrastructure. Imagine how different the world would be if miniaturized sensors, and computers could be embedded within materials...

Molecular Self Assembly "Molecular self-assembly is a concept of nanofabrication that involves designing molecules and supramolecular entities so that shape-complementarily causes them to aggregate into desired structures. This theoretical aspect of nanotech research and development is years from fruition, but an u and coming technology for the Century ahead.
Quantum Computing is a new field that combines ideas from computer science and quantum physics to explore hypothetical computing devices that harness delicate quantum effects . Basically the ultimate plan is to eventually build super computers that utilize atoms to perform calculations, as opposed to the current silicon based electronic brains we now use.
Quantum Dots A quantum dot is a particle of matter so small that the addition or removal of a single electron changes its properties in some useful way. All atoms are, of course, quantum dots, but for our purposes we use the term "Quantum Dot" only when referring to man made or manipulated atoms...Artificial Atoms
Bose Einstein A largely unexplored theory , somewhat relevant to nanotechnology and dealing with atomic behavior , particularly in gaseous matter under unusual conditions
