The word nano comes from nanometers i.e. 10^-9 meters.\nMaterials having dimensions of that order show special properties explained by quantum mechanics. So physics of electronic devices having sizes in nanometers are termed nano-electronics. One major usefulness is compactness as you can have lots of devices in a small chip. Also you can control the properties of such devices just by changing their sizes (within limits, can't be too big of course).

Nanotechnology has a wide variety of applications. One recent focus of research is the use of nanoparticles in imaging technologies. Nanoparticles can also be used to destroy cancer cells. This is achieved by injecting the particles into the tumor and exciting them with UV light. The particles vibrate and destroy the cancer.

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.

Nanotechnology, currently, mostly has to do with materials science, via creating micro structures that can withstand extreme stresses in either longitudal (carbon nano-tubes) or rotational (bucky-balls) directions, and any connection to aerospace is merely a coincidental imagining of people who are dreaming up ways to use these new exotic materials for aerospace applications.  Nanotechnology, in essesnce, is 'building' materials (metals, plastics, polycarbonates) from the basic atomic/molecular structure up.\n\nCurrently the only applications that I have heard of are in relation to a surface to low earth orbit(LEO)'elevator' which would be used to hoist payloads from the surface to LEO.  This setup would be extremely fragile though and tend to break even with the current nano-materials available.  \n\nThe other area where it would be of interest and much more probably of use, is in the area of heat resistant applications such at heat shields for re-entering spacecraft.  Nano-materials can be engineered to be highly resistant to high temperatures without their material properties changing drastically.  This would be a far greater useablility than any sort of space elevator.

It is a semiconductor, so would probably be good for machinery like Silicon. Most likely it would be used for computers and lasers somehow.

It is the cross disciplinary study of merging nanotechnology and genetics; i.e using nanostructure to create nanometer size machine. For example, a nanosize red blood cell would be used to cure some ailments.

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. = /

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!

this is basically what is nanotechnology.........\n\nNanotechnology is defined as fabrication of devices with atomic or molecular scale precision. Devices with minimum feature sizes less than 100 nanometers (nm) are considered to be products of nanotechnology. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter (10-9 m) and is the unit of length that is generally most appropriate for describing the size of single molecules. The nanoscale marks the nebulous boundary between the classical and quantum mechanical worlds; thus, realization of nanotechnology promises to bring revolutionary capabilities. Fabrication of nanomachines, nanoelectronics and other nanodevices will undoubtedly solve an enormous amount of the problems faced by mankind today.\n\nNanotechnology is currently in a very infantile stage. However, we now have the ability to organize matter on the atomic scale and there are already numerous products available as a direct result of our rapidly increasing ability to fabricate and characterize feature sizes less than 100 nm. Mirrors that don't fog, biomimetic paint with a contact angle near 180°, gene chips and fat soluble vitamins in aqueous beverages are some of the first manifestations of nanotechnology. However, immenant breakthroughs in computer science and medicine will be where the real potential of nanotechnology will first be achieved.\n\nNanoscience is an interdisciplinary field that seeks to bring about mature nanotechnology. Focusing on the nanoscale intersection of fields such as physics, biology, engineering, chemistry, computer science and more, nanoscience is rapidly expanding. Nanotechnology centers are popping up around the world as more funding is provided and nanotechnology market share increases. The rapid progress is apparent by the increasing appearance of the prefix "nano" in scientific journals and the news. Thus, as we increase our ability to fabricate computer chips with smaller features and improve our ability to cure disease at the molecular level, nanotechnology is here.\nregards\nram

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.
