What is reason behind nanotechnology?

In: Computer Hardware, Education [Edit categories]

Answer:

There are many reasons for nanotechnology. Imagine machinery that can repair itself. Imagine building ceramic engines from a solution, without fissures or hairline cracks. Just single solid light weight high temperature engines built up like single crystals. Imagine reducing the cost of manufacturing processes by a factor of a hundred.

Nanotechnology holds out significant promise for development in numerous areas. Tiny self replicating machines could mine industrial waste for ore, or aid with the clean up of pollution. Imagine armies of tiny self replicating machines sorting garbage, separating metals, glasses, and plastics, distilling alcohol for fuel from waste biomass, and so on. This field remains in its infancy, but as time goes on we will continue to develop interesting techniques and technologies.
