Nanotechnology

Combining chemistry and mechanical engineering, nanotechnology seeks to build structures with atoms and molecules-machines, such as single electron transistor, or an abacus that calculates by moving single molecules around like beads. This report presents investors and R&D executives with the most up to date survey of current applications, research direction, technical challenges, and market potential of nano-scale devices. The report features an overview of nanotechnology research and an explanation of the sciences involved.
