Nanotechnology is the hybrid science combining engineering and chemistry that have applications in the real world. The area of nanotechnology lets one build elaborate structures ,atom by atom ,on a scale of 1 to 100 nanometers that can store information, switch electrical signals, convert sunlight to electricity.
A nanometer is a billionth of a meter that is about 1/80,000 of the diameter of a human hair, or 10 times the diameter of a hydrogen atom. In this paper we had dealt with the main concepts involved in the field of nanotechnology which are as follows:
BioComputing
Molecular Computing
Quantum Computing
Optical Computing
Atoms and molecules stick together because they have complementary shapes that lock together, or charges that attract. Just like magnets a positively charged atom will stick to a negatively charged atom. A specific product will take shape as millions of these atoms are pieced together by nanomachines.
The goal of nanotechnology is to manipulate atoms individually and place them in a pattern to produce a desired structure of small size that spreads its wings in the modern trends.
