Nanotechnology for Not Yet Techies

"Computer Careers: Creating Microscopic Tiny Machines"

by Richard Stooker, President Info Ring Press and author of Secrets of Changing to a Computer Career

Nanotechnology is little known to the average person as yet, but holds out the promise of vast material prosperity for all of humanity and a long and healthy life for everybody. Some have predicted that by 2015 nanotechnology will be a $1 trillion industry.

One of nanotechnology's pioneers is Mark Ratner, the father of molecular scale electronics. "Nano" means one billionth. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter -- that's very small!

Although similar to my mind, it operates on an even smaller scale than MEMS / microelectricalmechanical systems. That is the creation of tiny robots that could be programmed to do such useful things and clean plaque from the insides of our arteries.

Nanotechnology operates on the molecular level and is working on how to manipulate the world at that level

Imagine the benefits of being able to program such tiny robots to scatter through the Earth and break PCBs, DDT and all other toxic substances down into harmless carbon and water. No more pollution.

Richard Feynman outlined the basic concepts of nanotechnology in a speech in 1959. The Institute of Nanotechnology in England promotes the coming technology. Also, many major businesses and governments are interested in it for its huge potential for good -- and, unfortunately, for harm.

Nanotechnology will allow for manufacturing with atomic-level precision. No more wrestling with a toy you need to assemble by Christmas morning, but its pieces don't fit together! It will also allow for the creation of materials and alloys that are incredibly strong yet light.
