Nanotechnology is an expected future manufacturing technology that will make most products lighter, stronger, cleaner, less expensive more compact cheaper enviromental wastage friendly and more precise.

Nanotechnology is a new technology for creating MEMS structures in the “Nano” range which is three orders of magnitude, or 1000 times smaller than the current generation of MEMS devices. Refers to devices ranging in size from a nanometer to a micron.

In the coming decades nanotechnology could make a supercomputer so small it could barely be seen in a light microscope. Fleets of medical nanorobots smaller than a cell could roam our bodies eliminating bacteria, clearing out clogged arteries, and reversing the ravages of old age. Clean factories could eliminate pollution caused by manufacturing. Low cost solar cells and batteries could replace coal, oil and nuclear fuels with clean, cheap and abundant solar power. New inexpensive materials over fifty times stronger per kilogram than those used in today's rockets could open up space and make lunar vacations no more expensive than vacations to the South Pole. Material abundance for all the people of the earth could become a reality.
Manufactured products are made from atoms. The properties of those products depend on how those atoms are arranged. If we rearrange the atoms in coal we can make diamond. If we rearrange the atoms in sand (and add a few other trace elements) we can make computer chips. If we rearrange the atoms in dirt, water and air we can make potatoes.
Todays manufacturing methods are very crude at the molecular level. Casting, grinding, milling and even lithography move atoms in great thundering statistical herds. It's like trying to make things out of LEGO blocks with boxing gloves on your hands. Yes, you can push the LEGO blocks into great heaps and pile them up, but you can't really snap them together the way you'd like.

In the future, nanotechnology will let us take off the boxing gloves. We'll be able to snap together the fundamental building blocks of nature easily, inexpensively and in most of the ways permitted by the laws of physics. This will be essential if we are to continue the revolution in computer hardware beyond about the next decade, and will also let us fabricate an entire new generation of products that are cleaner, stronger, lighter, and more precise.

Nanotechnology is the targeted construction of the smallest structural units and particles using the construction kit of the periodic system of elements in order to produce working materials with new properties, the most miniature machines and total systems.
This involves working on the most miniature scale. After all, 7 to 10 atoms in a row only measure 1/1,000,000,000 m, a nanometer.

A size comparison: A nano-structural unit is to a football as a football is to the earth. Up to now construction in nanodimensions was exclusive to nature. For millions of years it has constructed our world of plants, animals and humans using this successful principle. NanoGate Germany .
We are going to attempt to master this process, it's not if, or how? How soon is more appropiate, we know time holds and controls the turnkey to master all nano solutions.
