INTRODUCTION
http://www.zyvex.com/nanotech/feynman.html
What I want to talk about is the problem of manipulating and
controlling things on a small scale.
As soon as I mention this, people tell me about miniaturization,
and how far it has progressed today. They tell me about electric
motors that are the size of the nail on your small finger. And there
is a device on the market, they tell me, by which you can write the
Lord's Prayer on the head of a pin. But that's nothing; that's the
most primitive, halting step in the direction I intend to discuss. It is
a staggeringly small world that is below. In the year 2000, when
they look back at this age, they will wonder why it was not until
the year 1960 that anybody began seriously to move in this
direction.
Why cannot we write the entire 24 volumes of the Encyclopedia
Brittanica on the head of a pin?

RELEVANCE:
Have superior transport and
optical properties.
Y. Galperin, 2007
TYPES:
metallic (e.g., Ni, Pt, Au),
semiconducting (e.g., Si, InP, GaN. ..),
insulating (e.g., SiO2,TiO2),
molecular nanowires are composed of
repeating molecular units either organic
(e.g. DNA) or inorganic.
RELEVANCE:
Have new electrical properties.
Proposed for computing, solar
cells and metamaterials
RELEVANCE:
Low density, large surface area to
mass, high pore volume, and tight
pore size make the nanofiber
nonwoven appropriate for a wide
range of applications from medical to
to high-tech and aerospace,
capacitors, transistors, drug delivery
systems, battery separators, energy
storage, fuel cells, and information
