The Future of Nanotechnology

Abstract

In this chapter some active research areas that are anticipated to have big industrial and commercial impact in the future are considered. Productive nanosystems, encompassing personal nanofactories, represent the original vision of nanotechnology and would be highly disruptive. Self-assembly and directed assembly, especially of electronic circuits, are being pursued as the main rivals to productive nanosystems. Molecular electronics offers immense miniaturization potential but nevertheless may not ultimately be the technology to continue Moore's law. Quantum computing has seen solid theoretical progress but its realization in hardware remains challenging.
