"Nanotechnology focuses on engineering at the “nanoscale,” one to 100 nanometers. The tools needed to see individual atoms were not available until 1981, so in many ways, this science parallels the computing revolution that facilitated it. Researchers have discovered that materials at the nanoscale can have unexpected and novel properties, resulting in a wealth of breakthroughs.
Until recently, the majority of work in nanotechnology focused on the development of specialized materials, including ultra-light polymers and crystals with special conductive properties. These efforts have accelerated microchip development, making it possible to envision a near future where transistor count is orders of magnitude higher than it is today.
As nanotechnology matures, it will make possible a world of nanorobotics. Theoretical nanorobots could complete manufacturing tasks in a fraction of the time required now. Likewise, nanorobotics could combine with genetic engineering and health informatics technologies to treat diseases like cancer at the cellular level."
this is great technology that is gonna be very useful for many new things. maybe it can be used to help the human body.
