Nanoscale Science and Technology

While the first two issues highlighted in the previous paragraph are clearly associated with multiscale simulation, the second two are associated with nanotechnology and nanoelectronics, which are widely perceived as the future of the semiconductor industry. The relationship between multiscale simulation and nanoscale science and technology, however, depends on one s perspective as there are different definitions of the word nanotechnology

The quest for nanostructures and devices based on the biomimetic premise of architectural and functional precision is intense and remains an ultimate challenge. One must ask - what new options or unique properties does the dendritic state offer to meet the needs of nanoscale science and technology The rest of this chapter will attempt to overview key features of the dendritic state that address these and other issues.

Another major center of research on carbon nanotubes has been the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology at Rice University. The center s director from 1997 to his death in 2005 was Richard Smalley, who was awarded a share of the 1997 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his part in the discovery of a new allotrope of carbon. The discovery, a 60-atom soccer hall-shaped particle originally named buckminsterfullerene, is more commonly known as a buckyball. The structure of a buckyball is shown in the photograph on page 91.

This chapter is not intended as a survey on the present state and future developments of nanoscale science and technology, and the above-mentioned list of examples is far from complete. Nanosdence and nanotechnology will definitely have a strong impact on human-kind in many separate areas. Mention should be made, as the most significant examples, of information technology and the telecommunica-...
