Abstract
Nanotechnology is changing the face of science and engineering in today’s society. ... This report provides a brief description of nanotechnology, as well as information regarding government support of the research. This report also discusses different applications/uses of nanotechnology in the communications industry, and improvements involving computing and data storage. The impact of nanotechnology on other aspects of society is also included. ...
Introduction
Nanotechnology is a science that focuses on the ability to work at the molecular level to create structures and functions. ... Many other facets of our lives are touched by the opportunities involving nanotechnology, and the impact of this science will continue to grow as research continues to progress.
About Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology is “the creation of useful materials, devices, and systems through control of matter at the nanometer scale.” (National Research Council, 2002) Nanotechnology is used to develop improvements in many different industries. ... The birth of Nanotechnology is attributed to the prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman, who envisioned building devices one atom at a time.
Nanotechnology “encompasses how we harness our knowledge of nanoscience to create materials, machines, and devices that will fundamentally change the way we live and work. ... In 1999, the nanotechnology initiative got a major boost when the Clinton administration created the National Nanotechnology Initiative. ... A new bill, The Nanotechnology Research and Development Act of 2003, was introduced in the House of Representatives mid-February. ... ” (Brown, 2003) Nanotechnology is a major player in the advancement of modern technology.
Nanotechnology & Communications
Nanotechnology will greatly impact many aspects of the communications industry. ... The expense is the major reason why many companies have yet to fully embrace the new opportunities of nanotechnology. ... Nanotechnology promises enormous advances in terms of speed, low power, and low cost. ... These nanotechnology innovations will enable highly integrated optoelectronic circuits to deliver new capabilities at a lower cost. ... ” (Foresight Institute, 2002)
