The science of developing materials at the atomic and molecular level in order to imbue them with special electrical and chemical properties. Nanotechnology, which deals with devices typically less than 100 nanometers in size, is expected to make a significant contribution to the fields of computer storage, semiconductors, biotechnology, manufacturing and energy.\n\nEnvisioned are all kinds of amazing products, including extraordinarily tiny computers that are very powerful, building materials that withstand earthquakes, advanced systems for drug delivery and custom-tailored pharmaceuticals as well as the elimination of invasive surgery, because repairs can be made from within the body.\n\nLarry Bock, CEO of Nanosys, who helped launch more than a dozen successful biotech companies in his career, believes that nanotech will impact even more industries than biotech. In an excerpted article from the March 2003 Nanotech Report, he compared nanotechnology with the microelectronics industry. Bock said that "a single chemistry graduate student can create novel devices and device architectures not even imaginable or manufacturable by today's biggest microprocessor companies. That is because these devices are fabricated chemically, or from the bottom up. Existing microelectronics technology is fabricated by etching wafers, or from the top down."\n\nBy 2020, scientists at Rutgers University believe that nano-sized robots will be injected into the bloodstream and administer a drug directly to an infected cell. This robot has a carbon nanotube body, a biomolecular motor that propels it and peptide limbs to orient itself. Because it is composed of biological elements such as DNA and proteins, it will be easily removed from the body. For more information, see http://bionano.rutgers.edu/Mavroidis_Final_Report.pdf.

It is true that nanotechnology is about creating things smaller than the eye can see, they don't necessarily have to be machines in the traditional sense.\n\nNanotechnology, rather, has become a scientific buzz-word used to describe phenomena on the nanoscale, 0.000000001 meters. What is this small? Well, atoms are generally 1/10th of a nanometer... So if you put a bunch of atoms together, you've got a nanometer.\n\nSome people think of nanotechnology just as making teeny machines (with gears and all), but the field is so much broader than that. Researcher of biological proteins often call their work nanotechnology. Really anything that involves surface interactions or self-assembly is nanotechnology.\n\nAnyway, check out quantum dots. According to Wikipedia, they've made it into Playstations.

ahhh nanotechnology can save lives by inserting small thingys inside the patients to detect cancer and kill it, umm it increase information processing, it will make computer so cheap that almost everybody in the world will be able to afford one! isn't that kooL! umm yeah and will make education suberb! There will of course be many, many inventions due to nanotechnology so jsut sit back and let the future unfold before ur eyes. = /

There are new inventions / discoveries practically every day.  The best catalog of them I've seen used to be the McGraw Hill Yearbook of Science and Technology.  But the IEEE and ACM both have great tech newsletters talking about new discoveries and inventions.\n\nIf you're tlaking about non-tech stuff, you only need look as far as the discovery of new islands just off Togo... a couple of weeks ago, a yachter discovered "pumice rafts" drifting in the ocean from an underwater volcano, and within a week an island had formed.\n\nFor a start, check out the Science News section of Yahoo.

Use google. Sometimes you can dig up a lot of useful info.

Nanotechnology is everywhere already, most people just don't know it. For nearly one hundred years US spies have been using miniature gadgets cleverly sealed within everyday things, popularized by the James Bond movies and other spy-thrillers.  The term nano is anything that we deem reallyreallyreally small. IE Ipod Nano, etc. I think by Nano you mean, REALLY small, and alot of things already are, like the phone and watch analogie you used, one of the best ways to keep in-touch with nanotechnology and to understand its direction, is to study its past and present first, try livescience.com or wikipedia.org, good luck!

device structures used to build transistors or circuit elements that are smaller than 100 nanometers (nm) in size.\n\nA good size comparison is a virus, the smallest of microorganisms. But some layers of material that make up a transistor are even thinner than viruses; so an atom comes in handy as a measuring stick. For example, the transistor gate oxide, an insulating material, consists of about five atomic layers that add up to little more than one nanometer in thickness.\n\nSo what does all this have to do with the future of silicon?\n\nIn the past, industry experience seemed to indicate there is a very definite limit to the number components that can be fabricated onto a semiconductor wafer. Maybe that's true, with traditional methods. But as we get deeper into the realm of nanotechnology, materials and process recipes are changing. As these factors change, so do the limitations that the industry used to consider absolute. The world of nanotechnology recognizes that silicon as a semiconductor material is still extremely effective.\n\n\nAs research into nanotechnology continues to provide useful new materials or devices, it will be much more practical to commercialize these innovations by integrating them into silicon-based technology that has a massive existing infrastructure, rather than by trying to create an entirely new infrastructure.\n\nNanotechnology is slowly creeping into popular culture, but not in a way that most scientists will like. There is a great example in Dorian - novelist Will Self's modern reworking of Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray. In one scene, set in a dingy industrial building on the outskirts of Los Angeles, we find Dorian Gray and his friends looking across rows of Dewar flasks, in which the heads and bodies of the dead are kept frozen, waiting for the day when medical science has advanced far enough to cure their ailments. Although one of Dorian's friends doubts that technology will ever be able to repair the damage caused when the body parts are thawed out, another friend - Fergus the Ferret - is more optimistic. \n\n- Nanotechnology, Fergus - you're quite right; they'll have tiny hyperintelligent robots working in concert to repair our damaged bodies. \n\nThis view that nanotechnology will lead to tiny robotic submarines navigating our bloodstream is ubiquitous. Yet today's products of nanotechnology are much more mundane - stain-resistant trousers, better sun creams and tennis rackets reinforced with carbon nanotubes. There is an almost surreal gap between what the technology is believed to promise and what it actually delivers.

Nano technology is science fiction at this point.  You may want to try watching The X-Files or old Star Trek episodes... or ask the Borg.

Consider ordering a Chemistry magazine from your local University or nearby University. ChemCorner usually has lots of information about current research etc.

Nanotechnology is the science and technology of building electronic circuits and devices from single atoms and molecules.  It deals with devices typically less than 100 nanometers in size and is expected to make a significant contribution to the fields of computer storage, semiconductors, biotechnology, manufacturing and energy.  So it's scope is extremely vast.\n\nEnvisioned are all kinds of amazing products, including extraordinarily tiny computers that are very powerful, building materials that withstand earthquakes, advanced systems for drug delivery and custom-tailored pharmaceuticals as well as the elimination of invasive surgery, because repairs can be made from within the body.  There's even been talk of possibly using nanotechnology in warfare, unfortunately.\n\n-Colourgirlie ^_^.

Nanotechnolgy is basically very small robots made to work.\nThat's in layman's terms but if you really want some good info i suggest you google it out, you cannot find better answers anywhere else. The areas as far as i know are in every field possible, from surgery to textile. You will find some really great answers if you get in touch with HP guys, They know this in and out.

Quantum dots are small devices that contain a tiny droplet of free electrons. They are fabricated in semiconductor materials and have typical dimensions between nanometres to a few microns
