Abstract:
Nanotechnology is the engineering of functional systems at the molecular scale. Nanotechnology has been developed with cooperation from researchers in several fields of studies including physics, chemistry, biology, material science, engineering, and computer science. It is hoped that this may lead to the realization of our visions. Applications of Nano-technology on different fields of science have made a way to improve our daily way of life. Especially on Computer Science it has become a blessing. Today we are able to use computers as mini as a watch, everything has been possible through nanotechnology.

Keywords: Nano Technology, Computer Science, Nano Future.

Introduction:
In 1959, Richard Feynman, a future Nobel Laureate, gave a visionary talk entitled “There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom” on miniaturization to nanometer-scales. Later, the work of Drexler [1,2] also gave futuristic visions of nanotechnology. Feynman and Drexler’s visions inspired many researchers in physics, material science, chemistry, biology and engineering to become nanotechnologists. Their visions were fundamental: since our ancestors made flint axes, we have been improving our technology to bring convenience into our everyday life. Today a computer can be carried with one hand – 40 years ago a computer (hundreds of times slower) was the size of a room. Miniaturization of microprocessors is currently in process at nanometer-scales [3]. Yet, the style of our modern technology is still the same as ancient technology that constructed a refined product from bulk materials. This style is referred to as bulk or top-down technology [1]. As conventional methods to miniaturize the size of transistors in silicon microprocessor chips

    Summary: The Risen Empire And Nanotechnology

    With history, one must begin with the past. Of course, like most things, nanotechnology was just an idea or concept; a concept that was proposed by the physicist Richard Feynman in 1959. He stated that he wanted to build tiny factories all manufacturing simultaneously. He continued to say that it does not violate any laws of physics and has not been in practice only because humans are too big. The practice of it began to develop when the scanning tunneling microscope was created. This enormous microscope allowed humans to view the height of individual atoms. What was seen looked like some alien landscapes. However, using the same machine, they could also move, pick up, and place the atoms, rearranging these landscapes into their own. Nanotechnology is starting to skyrocket these days. It is one of the major studies right now. Many products are already using nanotechnology. These products are batteries that have longer life spans, sunscreen that doesn’t whiten the user’s face and bandages that kill bacteria. But what will there be in the future? There are chances that the uses of nanotechnology in The Risen Empire can become real. There may be nanosuits and nanoships, but most likely not until the distant future. Other possible products in the distant future may be disease killing nanotechnologies that roam the body, destroying threatening bacteria or viruses.…

Also, some of them have created new periods in past. They played a big role for coming modernity. However, there are some inventions that seem very effective but they have brought new problems for humanity and environment. Especially, at the beginning of an invention, people don’t realize that it will become big problem. Nowadays, people are taking notice of this kind of things. Nanotechnology is one of these inventions which are needed to be discussed from point to point. Today, there are some people who believe that nanotechnology is dangerous; however some scientists think that nanotechnology has great benefits because it helps people to invent new things for the future.…

    Molecular Vapor Deposition

    There has been much new advancement in the nano-technology field on a international level in recent years. The new advancements have drawn a increasing interest in nanometer scale surface coating. Ultra thin film coatings can be used in a wide range of applications as lubricants, anti-stiction layers, molecular glues, coupling agents or adhesion layers. The mentioned molecular coatings are used to modify material surface properties. The traditional coating deposition methods consist of a set of sequential wet baths. The wet processing method is complex and limits the ability of molecular coating in many MEMS applications. The use of liquid precursors has extremely limited bath life, which cause the method to be highly expensive and have low product ability. In this paper a new surface coating technique a new surface coating technique will be discussed, which is called Molecular Vapor Deposition (MVD). This new method has proven to overcome the shortcomings of the liquid phase method and has single handedly improved changed the ability of surface coatings.…

    Nanotech

    echnology has evolved from the task and things which once seen as unbelievable to common everyday chores and instruments. The developments and progress in artificial intelligence and molecular technology have spawned a new form of technology; Nanotechnology. Nanotechnology could give the human race eternal life, or it could cause total annihilation. The idea of Nanotechnology was originally conceived by K. Eric Drexler, which he defines it as “Technology based on the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules to build structures to complex atomic specifications. The technology, which Drexler speaks of, will be of the older of ‘nano’—structures will only measure 100 nanometers, or a billionth of a meter. Such fine structures can only be seen with the STM, or Scanning Tunneling Microscope that allows the scientists to not only to peek at the molecular level, but also to pick up and move atoms as well. But the STM has been regarded as too big to ever produce nano-tech structures.…

    Evaluation of impact and developments of nanotechnology

    During the past quarter of century nanotechnology is one of most commonly known and developing science in the world. Sobolev (2005 p. 14) asserts that nanotechnology is the next industrial revolutionary science, which leads physics, chemistry and biology scientist to control and manipulate matter at extremely small scale, even at the level of molecules and atoms. Sahoo (2006 p. 21) defines nanotechnology as a science of manipulation, characterization and fabrication of materials, devices and structures, which have at least one dimension, that is roughly 1-100 nm. When sizes of particles of different components are reduced below this threshold the material obtained exhibit chemical and physical properties that are significantly different compared with macroscale materials composed of the same materials. This essay will investigate and evaluate the societal effects and future scientific implementations for development of nanotechnology, followed by economical impacts and issues with it.…

    About Nanotechnology

    Imagine being able to observe the motion of a red blood cell as it moves through your vein, or being able to watch as a type of white blood cell (called a "T-cell") destroys an invading microbe by engulfing it. What would it be like to observe the vibration of molecules as the temperature rises in a pan of water? To observe sodium and chlorine atoms as they get close enough to actually transfer electrons and form a salt crystal? New scientific tools, developed and improved over the last few decades, make such observations increasingly feasible. These are examples of the effort to view, measure and even manipulate materials at the molecular or atomic scale - the major focus of nanotechnology.…

    In Tsinghua University I found the gateway to the beautiful garden of Mechanics. What I saw in its Micron and Nanotechnology Center, such as electric generators only a few microns large, and various laser devices in precision measurement, carried me away completely.

    The ideas and concepts behind nanoscience and nanotechnology started with a talk entitled “There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom” by physicist Richard Feynman at an American Physical Society meeting at the California Institute of Technology (CalTech) on December 29, 1959, long before the term nanotechnology was used. In his talk, Feynman described a process in which scientists would be able to manipulate and control individual atoms and molecules. Over a decade later, in his explorations of ultra precision machining, Professor Norio Taniguchi coined the term nanotechnology. It wasn't until 1981, with the development of the scanning tunneling microscope that could "see" individual atoms that modern nanotechnology began.…
