Nanotechnology Mastery Blue Print

The constituent components of conventional devices are carved out of larger materials relying on physical methods. This top-down approach to engineered building blocks becomes increasingly challenging as the dimensions of the target structures approach the nanoscale. Nature, on the other hand relies on chemical strategies to assemble nanoscaled biomolecules. Small molecular building blocks are joined to produce nanostructures with defined geometries and specific functions. It is apparent that nature’s bottom up approach to functional nanostructures can mimicked to produce artificial molecules with nanoscaled dimensions and engineered properties. 

Characterization and manipulation of individual nanostructures require not only extreme sensitivity and accuracy, but also atomic level resolution. It therefore leads to various spectroscopic and microscopy that will play a central role in characterization and measurements of nanostructured materials and nanostructures. Miniaturization of instruments is obviously not the only challenge: the new phenomena, physical properties and short range forces, which do not play a noticeable role in macroscopic, level characterization, may have significant impacts in the nanometer scale. The development of novel tools and instruments is one of the greatest challenges in nanotechnology.
