do you know anything about Nanotechnology

It is very new technology. It involves the chemical and physical properties of very small structures, made up of a relatively small number of atoms. It is only very recently that humans developed the technology to characterize and manipulate such small things. If you want to learn more about this, pursue chemistry, material science, surface science, and physics. There are companies today using nanotechnology to produce commercial products. Google nanotechnology and you will get lots of hits.

Nobody knows a whole lot about it because it is in it's infancy. A few interesting technologies using nano scale elements are commercially available, but they are mostly quite simple: no integration, for now nothing fundamentally different, just a slightly cheaper and better version of an earlier frequency reference or accelerometer or something along those lines.
Researches keep finding new and novel materials and properties, but characterizing, refining, controlling, and understanding them, and mass producing them, is an on-going research challenge.

Nanotechnology can be seen as an extension of existing sciences into the nanoscale, or as a recasting of existing sciences using a newer, more modern term.
or if you wanna know more look it up on wikipedia

big word that means this
Its about making machines that are the same size and work at the cellular or micro-cellular level
ie. there as small as a cell or work directly on cells
not all machines are made of metal
machines can just be a construction of cells for a specific purpose
