Functional Nanoscale Devices

The recent emergence of fabrication tools and techniques capable of constructing structures with dimensions ranging from 0.1 to 50 nm (see Fig. 5.1) has opened up numerous possibilities for investigating new devices in a size domain heretofore inaccessible to experimental researchers. The WTEC nanotechnology panel reviewed research in the United States, Japan, Taiwan, and Europe to find that there is considerable nanoscience and technology activity in university, industrial, and government laboratories around the world. The insight gained from this survey suggests areas of strength and areas of possible improvement in the field.
