Nanotechnology is intersting, expecially once you start investigting the components of a cell membrane or think about how the bulk of a nano sized particle starts to be exceeded by its surface area. There are lots of areas that nanotechnology can apply to. Kind of like how electricity applies to everything now days. Soon there will be nanotechnology electronics embedded into labels of consumer goods packaging, with a video on it yelling at you telling you to buy it. You will just through these away after you watch the entire instructions to how it works and other promo crap with its box. These things will cost about the same as a regular paper label some kids might tape them to their clothes like they do with fruit stickers or bumper stickers. Anyhow that’s about all I can say for today.

Some nanotechnology is already with us in commercial products. The really cool future nanotechnology is still science fiction.

Nanotechnology is my 'hobby'. From my limited understanding, I think the current method of using Atomic Force Microscopes and/or STMs to scratch atoms to move them around is a kind of delusional science as those are just surface material. What is needed is an equivalent of a 'bulldozer' to dig and move the deeper atoms around. When that can be done, the field will progress in the 2 dimensional aspects. Three dimensional manipulation is another story altogether.
I hope someone in the field can point me to a paper that proves my statements wrong. Thanks!

IBM arranging atoms was just a sideshow, it wasn't in any way serious and someone who has this as a hobby should at least know that.
It's sci-fi, nano machines aare at the one cog, one tiny motor, one tiny actuator stage. They haven't got to the point of assembling anything from the example devices they have created. We might be closer to nuclear fusion than working nanobots.

Type NANOREX into any search engine and feast yourself there is a really cool Quicktime .mov called Nanofactory.mov on one of the search links pointing at Nanorex.
