Nanocircuits are electrical circuits on the scale of nanometers. One nanometer is equal to 10-9 meters or a row of 10 hydrogen atoms. With circuits becoming smaller, there is an ability to fit more on a computer chip. This allows more complex functions using less power and at a faster speed. Nanocircuits are organized into three different parts: transistors, interconnections, and architecture, all dealt with on the nano scale.
